I have a whole bunch of these. What do you use them for, if you use them?
They are fat and a round as navel oranges. |

The zest makes a good lemon-olive oil, and it goes well on many pasta dishes. Grilled porterhouse in the style of bistecca Fiorentina is well served with a drizzle of Meyer Lemon Oil. Meyer lemon pie. A slice in your margarita. Served in slices over halibut or veal cutlet. Pretty much anywhere you'd like lemon but with a lighter flavor. You're lucky. My two trees produced a total of 4 lemons. I'd like to make Moroccan preserved Meyer lemons and use them with chicken or lamb and olives. Alex |

Thanks for the ideas. I am thinking that I might get her to send me more, see how many she can get in a flat rate "priority mail" box, which ships for about $10, and include $20 for her trouble. (She's a poor college student.) She also has the fattest, most juicy tangerines, they are just rotting on the ground. |

Do you find they have a slightly "orangey" flavor? I was just reading in wikipedia that they originate in China and are some sort of lemon bred with an orange. |

They changed the variety here in the US due to the fact that the originals carried a disease that could be devastating to the entire US citrus crop. I had one of the originals twenty years ago and it just tasted like a lemon to me. Now we raise the Ponderosa lemon, it is supposed to be a natural cross between a grapefruit and a lemon. Very thick skin, lots of seeds, plenty of juice. We put up fifteen or twenty quart bags of lemon cubes every year. That's what we've been doing today and still have three five-gallon buckets of them to go. The Ponderosa grows true from the seed also. |

You mix the juice with simple syrup (and some water if you want) and freeze it in a big metal lasagna pan. Set the timer for 30 minutes and rake the stuff in the pan with a fork. Keep doing this every 30 minutes. Takes about 2 hours but it is a wonderful dessert. After it's all frozen, move it to a container and put it back in the freezer. Take out about a half hour before serving and serve a scoop in a nice sherbet dish or even a shallow wine glass. It's grainier than water ice or sherbet. I use Splenda and water to make the simple syrup because DH is a Diabetic. It's one of his favorite desserts. You can also add a little vodka to the mix to keep it from freezing too hard. I've made it with Valley Lemons, regular lemons, mixed lemons and limes, oranges, grapefruit, cantaloupe and watermelon. The cantaloupe and watermelon need to be seeded and pulverized in the blender. -- Janet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life |

It produced a lot more fruit than she and the rest of the family could ever consume. She used to come up for Halloween when the kids were little, and she'd bring me at least a bushel of persimmons in various stages of ripeness.

Delilah 1 1/2 ounce gin 3/4 ounce lemon juice 3/4 ounce Cointreau Shake hard over ice and serve up in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon. Use Meyer Lemon juice for the regular lemon juice. I think there might have been another modification too, but I could be wrong. There was a whole thread here on rfc many years back about Aviations, and Delilahs, with some of the great names of rfc contributing.

You know that unfortunate effect known as a "camel's toe"? It's not always caused by wearing your pants too tight, it happens as a design flaw when pants patterns are scaled up or down by too much... You have to adjust that curve. Anyway, I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I read the technical term for the opposite problem. It's called a "wong". |

I got confused because the one pictured in Wiki appears to be egg shaped and a mottled green. From what little I remember, they were round, more yellow than green and the skin wasn't particularly bumpy. -- I never worry about diets.
