I do love LEMONS!It must be because of the wonderful Arizona citrus
I grew up with.
When you ask for LEMONS in Mecixo....you get this.....a LIME.....it is called a Limon.
There is no such thing as a yellow LEMON in Mexico.
So, on a recent trip to Arizona I made sure to bring some back with me.To enjoy;)!
Also for our Easter Dinner/The Boy's 16th birthday party...
I made 8..yes....EIGHT
