Lemon Bars

 Traditionally, we often think of citrus as summer fare. Lemonade comes to mind, ice-cold and lip-smackingly sour. Also, cold pasta salad, dressed with an herbaceous lemon dressing. Tart parfaits, lemon chiffon cake, and the like don't make us think of the cold days of winter, but instead the sweltering days of summer.
What's funny, though, is that citrus is actually a winter fruit. And a summer fruit. Citrus here in California (and possibly other place-I don't really know) bears fruit several times a year. And it is bearing now.

Lemon Curd

It's that time of year! Hardly time to take a breath, much less post about food. We have been without the internet in our home since we moved back in September, and honestly, it has been the last thing on my list. It should have been a bit closer to the top since we apparently rely on it more than we realized. That being said, I have fallen far behind in my cheese making challenge/class, but I have already prepared to catch up! I have all my ingredients lined up and I am going to attempt to make cream cheese, feta, and mozzarella in the next few weeks.
For today, I have a lovely post about lemon curd. This is not just something that fancy English people spread on scones at tea time. It is absolutely amazing, and you can make a giant batch a freeze it, for use whenever you please. I would recommend doing that, instead of making little batches for a particular recipe.
