Hi again money friends, do you like lemons?

Thanks Sabre, ooh now sucking a lemon, aargh my teeth go on edge at the very thought.
Being fair haired though I do add a little lemon in the final rinse. It leaves my hair shiny and fresh smelling too.

Yummy me too, thanks Rosie. One of my other favourites happens to be lemon meringue pie, the way my late mother used to make it. Somehow just can't seem to get it quite as fluffy and crisp the way she could.

I wish I could make my Fathers beef stew, somehow his dumplings come out huge and so soft, I can't make them like that, mine could be used as ammunition.

Thanks fruity, just to add that a bag of lemons is so much cheaper than certain cleaning products and more environmentally friendly.

Absolutely, Lillie and you can't put Cillit Bang in your gin! ;-)

Oh Lolll, my eyes are watering at the thought, actually how about a dash of Mr Muscle just for that extra spiciness...hmmm.

If you buy a big net of lemons, which is much cheaper than buying them singly, and you think you won't use them all before they go off, cut the excess ones into wedges and freeze them in ice cubes, then just pop one or two out into your gin & tonic.

Excellent advice there Feline thank you,, I'm all for embellishing the grand tipple with a slice of lemon and/or lime.

No I haven't Alwyn, although I have made lemon sorbet and find it wonderfully refreshing. Thanks

Haven't come across that Alwyn, do you make it yourself? I love lemon sorbet, but I don't like it too sweet

I love lemon sorbet too, especially if it's sharp...yum!

Alwyn, do you make your own lemon ice cream? And if so, have you got a good recipe?

Yes Snoopy Ice and a slice works for me too especially in a drop of gin.

As for a 'naked suck' ooh the very thought makes me wince and draw my knees up to my chin....

Actually Lillie it's very stimulating .... and if you have mercury fillings, the combination can generate a small electrical current that can cause bodily twitching ....

Yes I have a few mercury fillings Snoopy perhaps with those and enough lemon juice I could power a small appliance.

Exactly what sort of small appliance were you thinking of, Lillie.....?

Maybe a little hand whisk??

Yes I was wondering what Lillie was referring to Feline - being a bit naughty again me thinks !!!!!

Frankly, this discussion sucks ....

Quite agree Snoops not a discussion for the pure and simple like you and me. I would close your ears to it and not be drawn in - keep your dignity and ignore the sisters.

Simple.................? Pure???? lol

Something you want to ask, Jazz?

A little hand whisk, Lillie? You mean something with interchangeable heads, like rabbit whiskers?

I didn't realise you could get rabbits with interchangeable whiskers. You seem to know a lot about this, Snoops.....

Not really Feline ... I have led a pretty sheltered life when it comes to such things. I just bluff my way through it when the subject comes up.

But I have noticed a local deli selling these things alongside the Quorn .... apparently, they are both meat substitutes ....

A deli with rabbit's whiskers Snoopy whatever next or have I got the wrong end of the conversation ?

Fell off chair!

I did hear of a woman who visited the local A&E department with one of these little gizmos firmly stuck 'in place'. When the doctor examined her and asked her if she'd like it removed, she simply said 'No, but can you change the batteries' .....

Oh Lordy I'm on the floor with Feline here,from lemons to rabbits gizmos just how diverse is that???

Diversity at the flick of a switch, eh Lillie?

I'm all for a little diversification Snoopy with or without a switch...

Good grief - amazing what I can miss in the few hours I'm at swimming!!

Hope you enjoyed your swim Jazzj. I must say I look in here now in pure trepidation of what's being said next.

So was I right or was I wrong and the deli and the whiskers what about them then. Glad you had a good laugh it does you the world of good but honestly I'm just still in the dark please put me out of my misery and tell me what you are talking about my lovely friends !!!!

p.s. Referring to Snoopy's posting. What have the gizmos to do with the rabbit's whiskers. I presume he is being very rude again about a women's private bits. I've lost the plot now.

Sabre, yes, Snoopy is being very rude indeed.

Just think back to Lillie's 'small appliance' and let your imagination run riot!

MLS ... TLOY!

Thanks again Sidesald, good point about the wax. I have a special short bristle brush for de-waxing both lemons and limes, it comes in useful for scrubbing jacket potatoes too.

Yes great antiseptic too if you are lost in the wilderness and need to clean up a cut Bear Grylls stylee.

lol

>;p)

Good point Omend yes it's a great antiseptic, thanks.

Great link Sidesalad,thanks.

Very useful, Sidesalad, thanks!

Thanks Sidesalad, you certainly know your way around a lemon therefore I anoint you 'queen of lemons'.

I am indeed honoured Lillie!

Ipad wow never realised you were so rich Side parsnip!

You a yuppy now?

Yes Omen - it's so convenient for my private plane and of course on the yacht.

LOL, Sidesalad!

Very gracious of you to slum it with us plebs sidesalad!

No I haven't but it sounds good and I do like Thai food.

Yes Thai food is my fave lots of lemons limes and coconut milk!!!

Thanks,sounds delicious. I'm quite partial to Dover sole with a light fluffy lemon drizzle. It's always a treat for me when dining out which is a rare thing these days.
