Oooh, I love lemon baked goods! Got a recipe?

I'd say he's equally happy with both entrees and desserts -- it's
actually pretty rare for him to say "please don't make this again".
It just happens that I like to try out new things at dinner parties
(I warn my guests ahead of time), so the aforementioned friend has
witnessed this reaction a time or two. Hubby and I laugh about the
friend's reaction (he looks so shocked!). I like the fact that he's
honest with me. I'd hate to think he's secretly dreading something
I've made, afraid to tell me the truth...
