Not only that, I find it the funniest thing. I'll make some ordinary
dish, lemon cookies or salad dressing. Someone will rave and ask me my
secret. There's no secret, I reply. Just use fresh lemon juice and
real lemon zest.


The next thing I know, said friend will come back with her rendition of
the same recipe. "It just doesn't turn out as well as yours. I'm no
good at cooking. I don't have the talent. What's your secret?"


"Did you use fresh lemon juice from lemons?"


"Oh, yes. I have a bottle of lemon juice in the refrigerator and used
that."
