Thanks a bunch, really!<BR/><BR/><BR/>desiknitter, I have been thinking of your mother's lemon saaru, it is on my list! You have Meyers, too, right? Goat cheese and olive-oil 'wali' - you are a true californian now. There is a balsamic-vineger 'wali' at our market, and when I got chatting with her I found out that she gets her vinegars from Modena and bottles them here. That made me wonder if that qualifies for her to be in the farmer's market, but I don't know how these things work.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Suganya, thanks a lot, that cakes does sound good, and candied peels sound fantastic too. The lemons aren't very sweet, but they don't pucker, and this years crop is also juicier than before. <BR/><BR/><BR/>TheCooker, you go through this every January? Wow.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Manisha, you found them, finally! I know you were mildly obsessed with them, but don't know why. If I had a bumper crop I could have sent you some, but I don't do anything that will make more of them grown.jitna mila bahut hai. Balsamic vinaigrette is a fave too, and actually works better in some salads than lemony ones.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Nina, glad to have inspired you. Lemonade would be great, thanks for the idea. If only we had a spot of warmth and sunshine to go with, it would be perfect. As for your sidebars, that would be related to your template, I believe, other than that I don't know much. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi Musical, long time no see! What have you been up to? You are such a global (national?) punjabi yaar - you make varan bhaat too? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Poonam, you are welcome.

Instead of lemon juice I use a dash of vinaigrette that the same olive-oil wali sells, but I guess I could go even more local and use the lemons in my backyard!
