Remember all those lemons I didn’t know what to do with? Well, I decided to punt. I deferred my decision. I froze my assets, if you will.

Dear friends, I made lemon bars. I made them and I ate them and ate them. And then I sent them away.
Truth: I cannot be left alone with an entire batch of lemon bars.
It all started when a friend gave us a bag of lemons. I love lemons. But I was paralyzed by the question: what do you do with that many lemons?

Can you believe it is almost August? Eep. Where has the summer gone? Even without all the E’s, the last few months have been pretty busy around here. At least it feels like it has been really busy, but I can’t really say what I’ve been doing. Okay, fine… I’ve been spending way too much time at Ikea. There I said it. I have mixed feelings about it.

Last month, with some skepticism, I tried the rhubarb rosemary lemon spritzers from Simply Recipes. I wasn’t sure what rosemary would do to my fruity drink but it was really good.

Dan bought a big bottle of lemon juice from Costco. I am typically wary of bottled lemon juice, but this one tasted almost as good as fresh (definitely a class above the little lemon shaped squirt bottles). It is an Italian brand (or branded to look Italian). And since lemons are getting expensive around here (almost 70 cents each last time I looked), I decided to use the bottled juice (also, squeezing a bunch of lemons didn’t sound like fun).
