He was keyed up Sunday night and didn't get to sleep until late, so he was tired today. I hope he was good at school. He went to sleep like an angel tonight, about 7:40 PM. The little girls did, too.
Still cold here--44 right now, and will get down to 33 degrees tonight (or early morning). Brrr.
I saw an article on the internet about freezing whole lemons, then grating them up to use in whatever you like. You wash them first, really well. Then put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. When they are frozen, take them out and grate the whole thing, peel, seeds and all. The article, which I can't find now, said to sprinkle the frozen bits of lemon on everything: soup, eggs, salads, veggies, beans, ice cream, ramen noodles--you name it. It said that it brightens up the flavor of any food and is good for you, as well.
I like lemon, so I bought some and tried it. I've only grated one so far (I used the small holes). The article (that I can't find) said you can put them in the food processor to grate them, and I'm going to do that with the rest of them tomorrow. The one I grated smelled heavenly while I was grating it, and I put the gratings in a plastic bowl w/lid and put it back in the freezer. The gratings tasted good all by themselves. They sort of melted in my mouth. I'll try them on food tomorrow.
Camryn has a dentist appointment tomorrow, so I will drop her and her mommy off at the dentist's after we take Aubrey to school at 11:15. Gina will stay with me.
I also have a dentist appointment, but mine is next week on Tuesday. Dreading it, but need it. I have 2 broken molars that have to be fixed. The dentist didn't want to do it while I was still recovering from cancer and chemo, but one of them is starting to hurt a little and I don't want it to get worse.
Hope you've had a good start to your week.
I had a lot of dental work done last year Kalona so can sympathize. Was the lemon hard to grate when it was frozen? I would be interested in doing this too.
ReplyDeleteHere's a video about grating frozen lemons. Sounds like a very cool (no pun intended) idea. I have a lemon lingering in the kitchen. I'm going to pop it into the freezer.

P.S. They claim it's good to heal cancer.
Thanks for the link, Adrienne. I saw that cancer prevention/cure claim, and hope it's true. But I figured even if it's not true the lemon will still be good for us.
ReplyDeleteI tried some of the grated lemon on my yogurt this morning. Yum!
Therese, grating the frozen lemon was about as hard as grating hard cheese--not too bad. Adrienne has linked a video about grating frozen lemons if you want to take a look.
