sweet tooth

[fufaraw]

I could go out in the chilly sloppy rain and fight the Saturday crowds to go to the bakery, and see if they have lemon tarts, or possibly lemon meringue--or even better, lemon cream pie, all for meeeee, since I'm the only one here to eat it.

Or I could sit here all cozy and dry and spread Dickinson's lemon curd on a few cinnamon graham crackers and top it with a schmear of whipped cream cheese. No leftovers.

Yeah. That'll work.

That's what I like to see. Innovation :D

*G* Wasn't it Franklin who said laziness is the mother of invention?

I know, it was necessity. But in this case--oh who're we kidding, in my case it's most often laziness. I had a supervisor once who kept throwing tasks my way, and when I politely suggested maybe the other staff could...*share* in the task load, she said, "Well, my philosophy has always been, if you need something done, give it to the laziest person in the room. They streamline, eliminate non-essentials, do what's necessary to get the job done without the bells and whistles."

And it's true! Lo, I am very lazy.

(Offering) Lemony graham cracker?

Ha! Yes, that's me, too :)

Ta! (accepts cracker)

That sounds delicious!

[fufaraw]

Mmm, was! And less guilt than consuming half a pie. Which...is not beyond my scope.

Ooh, both options sound delish:) Must try the at home version; I love lemon curd, but never thought to combine it with whipped cream cheese!

*g* As mentioned above, laziness is the mother of invention! Also? Nom!

I want lemony treats so bad now... *POUT*

I try to keep cinnamon grahams on hand. They sate the cookie urge, most of the time. The lemon curd is also a pantry staple. Gotta love those shelf-stable staples.

It's 2.30 am and I'm suddenly tempted to raid the cupboards for something sweet.

[fufaraw]

Oh, I know that feeling very well. I hope your search was fruitful!

No cake, but I did uncover a bag of Werther's Originals :)

Just added to my grocery list - thanks for the appetite tease! Didn't know you could get good lemon curd, canned. I love making it, and it's super-easy, but these days I. Just. Can't.

Dickinson's isn't homemade good, but it's pretty good--and available in wee jars that are shelf-stable till opened.

Yeah, THAT WORKS! *tummy growls*

I think you gunked up my computer, it won't work unless I feed it lemony yummies ;)

More/less expensive than 'lectricity?

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Less depending on whether I use real lemons ;)
