Her name is Larry. Bet that was keeping you up at night wondering what the heck it was. What could a feminine Larry be a derivation of?
This post will be short and sweet – having one of those days where I am in meetings from the minute I get up until, well 3:00pm. Then I have to get some kind of plan in place for dinner.
Whatever dinner is it will involve lemons because my Dad’s tree is going nuts. It bears the best lemons I’ve ever tasted and it does so, quite prolifically, for most of the year.
I’ve been on a lemon kick because one of the message boards I frequent (moderate actually) has had a lively topic about Limoncella going for a week now. My mouth waters just thinking about sipping an icy cold Limoncella on a hot afternoon. Or making a Limoncella spritzer with sparkling water and lots of ice cubes. Mmmm.
The message board has nothing to do with food, or drinking – it’s actually about makeup and skincare (a wee obsession of mine). The women that post on it are a fun and lively group and most of us have been posting for years and years. I never have advertised my blog on the board and up until now I’ve only told one person on the board about it. It’s not a big secret or anything, it’s just not something I thought was appropriate to promote there.
Well you can imagine how funny it was that someone from the board discovered my blog serendipitously by following a link on another crafy/decorating type blog. She left a comment down below that described how she finally put two and two together and figured out who I was. I think it was the butterfly phobia that finally tipped her off. I mean how many people will actually confess to that?
There’s no point to this, really – I just got a kick out of it. And what a small world we are, when you think about it.
And this wasn’t short and sweet, was it? Maybe next time.
You are so lucky to have fruit on trees this time of year. All we are harvesting in NH is snowballs! It’s getting mighty old. I think I may have to move to California.
Actually, among some of the other things I’ve noticed we have sort of in common is that my sister has always had a terrific fear of moths/flying bugs. She wouldn’t swim in our cousins pool because of the dive-bombing bugs. Then cousin K. had to go and tell her “don’t worry. The BATS will eat all the bugs!” Kathy (in Oregon)
That should be easy to remember..”You’re killing me, Larry!”
There is nothing more worthwhile to plant than a lemon tree. I have a meyer lemon tree that produces year round and keeps the neighbors and friends suppled. I also have a pitiful lime tree that produces about 6 tiny limes per year. Enjoy your limoncella!
Larry…Ya think maybe her dad wanted a boy?
I wish I had some of those lemons for my dinner tonight. I’m making angel hair pasta with a white clam sauce. Just clams, clam juice, butter, olive oil, lots of garlic, white wine and lemon. Yummm!
