When we were in California, we picked lots of citrus and avocados from the hub's aunt's farm, so recently we've been making all sorts of citrus-y things: Blood Orange Tarts, Citrus Cupcakes, Lemon & Shrimp Pasta, Orange and Beet Salads, Citrus Pancakes, Avocado and Grapefruit Salads, Orange Juice, Margaritas (you knew it was coming), and who knows what else - oh yeah, Limoncello.
But I just had to show you guys this monster lemon that my hubs picked while we were there. To fully illustrate how ginormous this is, I thought it would be good to show some comparisons.
A regular lemon.
My hand. (Don't look at the spot on my counter.)
We jokingly have been shouting "Go long!" with the accompanying tossing and catching motions for a couple weeks now, as we've been saving this football lemon for last.

Good lord! That's a monster of a lemon!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! We lived in Arizona a long time ago and had monster citrus fruit like that. I miss it! So yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely enjoyed our bounty from California. I think we'll have to make another trip at some point because gosh, I'm going to miss fresh orange juice.
