Meyer lemonade = TEH YUM!
Feb. 15th, 2008 01:12 pmSqueezed one of the many Meyer lemons I got yesterday (yes, I'm still home sick) to make lemonade to have with lunch. Joy of Cooking says: 1 cup water, 1.5 T lemon or lime juice, and 3-4 T sugar, plus a little salt. I remembered that when I made Meyer lemonade a year or so ago, that was really more sugar than it needed. I was right - about 2 T per cup is about right.
And on the suggestion of a chorus friend, I then microwaved the cup for a short while to heat it up. OMG OMG YUM. Heightened lemon flavor, slightly syrupy consistency to the drink. Really really really nice. I could drink a lot of this stuff. And hey, surely I am (1) getting a lot more vitamin C and other good stuff than I would with just the tea, and (2) not getting that many more calories with 2 T of sugar than 1 tsp of honey.... err, well, maybe not. But worth it. And if it makes me feel better, darn it I'm going to do it.
Still home sick because I'm still stuffy and sneezy, and because I didn't sleep nearly well enough last night. I may try doing it without Sudafed PE 12 hour tonight and see what happens. We do have generic Nyquil if I get desperate.
In other realms: WTF is Square/Enix thinking, charging fifty smackers for an eight-hour RPG quest???!? Fifteen or twenty, I could see. Thirty, maybe. But fifty? You've got to be kidding me. A definite 'wait a year and see what the used price is.' Maybe.
