IT HAUNTS ME
Dec. 13th, 2011 11:32 pmFirst double batch of lemon curd made and jarred. I am taking a break before washing up all the utensils and then making a second double batch.
Dee would like it if I could possibly make extra lemon curd for her to give as Christmas presents.
... no. Sorry, but no. I have my own Christmas cooking and baking to do which has to be carefully scheduled so I don't wind up an exhausted wreck on the day itself. (Some years I couldn't bake at all and I was still a wreck.) I am not adding more lemon curd to my list. I already make a special batch of florentines for Dee every year - fiddly, annoying things they are. Her husband loved them so I made them for him but he died a few years ago. However, Dee and the grandchildren love them too so I still make them.
But this quadruple batch of lemon curd will have to hold her until after Christmas!

On the plus side, I now have a pretty new apron to wear for all the cooking! I have been looking for a proper apron for years. You know, one that wouldn't leave half my chest and most of my skirts still vulnerable to splashes. This one covers my chest completely and the skirt is almost ankle-length and comes partway around my hips. Good coverage! And thanks to the drawstring neck, I can fit the waist ties around my waist, not somewhere around my hips.
And it's comfortable and it's pretty!
