Lemons Anyone?

Our Lemon tree is budding so we had the girls pick the last remaining bunch of lemons. And this is what we got...302 lemons! I have plenty of lemon juice in my freezer and would love to share our bounty of lemons with you. Come over anytime! Quantity limited, offer good while supplies last!

My friend Becky Haymore gave me a great lemonade recipe...

Best Lemonade Ever

1 3/4 cups white sugar

8 cups water

1 1/2 cups lemon juice

1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
   
2. Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups of water. YUMMY!

In case you ever wondered how many lemons it takes to make 1 gallon of pure lemon juice, it's 51 lemons...this will yield 5 gallons of lemonade

Food Storage

I wanted to show off my nice organized pantry it took me almost 2 hours to clean out last night. I found 2 boxes of cake mix that were about to expire so I guess my family will be forced to eat cake for a couple of weeks. I wonder how long my pantry will stay this clean? Anyone willing to place a wager?

And a big thank you to my friend Lucinda for letting me tag along last Friday when she went grocery shopping, Fry's was having a case lot sale and we both did some damage. I think I bought to much tomato sauce/tomato soup, can you have to much of that stuff? I do know you can never have enough cream of chicken soup, I have 30 cans and I'm proud of it!
