I was cleaning through our old collection of VHS tapes when I found the movie “Jurassic Park” that we once recorded from a TV rerun. I haven’t seen that movie in about five years so I popped it into our VHS player (yes we still have one of those ancients) and proceeded with the now 15 year old movie.

I actually made this about 3 weeks ago but somehow never got around to penning down this simple deliciousness. What you're seeing is a Lemon tart made from real lemon juice (I squeezed about 6 lemons) and lemon zest made from the peel.
