So I accidentally bought 12-dozen lemons, S.O.S.

I went to La Tienda in a heavily latin-influenced part of St Pete and since in this one store they don't seem to know much English and my Spanish is not always great (even though I am in a class now working hard to improve it)-- They said, in Spanish:, "you want a dozen?" And I said, "yes, 12 please." And they thought I meant 12-dozen.

How about limoncello with all those rinds? This also makes a great gift.

There's also lemon and spinach soup with orzo (just leave out the egg) or this lemony grain salad with asparagus and almonds (just omit cheese). Both are tasty and will use up some of your lemons!

When I was younger I made lemon butter to use as a spread (though you can also make lemon butter cakes with it). It was super delicious. My mum has the recipe I used, so I can't be of too much assistance. It may have contained eggs, but perhaps somewhere online has a vegan version. Lemon butter is the bomb.

I also made this lemon cake with lemon cream and lemon icing for my friend's birthday party. I'll have a look for the recipe I used. It was really really nice.

OH! and lemon pie! There's a recipe in Now Vegan by Lynda Stoner. If you want I can type it up for you.

Of course you can use little bits of the juice for hummus, tabouli, tagines, scrambled tofus etc.

I love the lemony chickpea dish in this post, and there's also a lemony tofu dish.

You can also juice the lemons and put it in ice-cube trays and freeze to use in small bits at a later date.

And don't forget to check the tags. There's a wealth of ideas there.

Happy lemoning!

Mastercleanse! :-)

http://vegandad.blogspot.com/search/label/lemon I'm amazed that there is a lemon tag. I really like the tofu cutlets.
