Lemon Pips – A Step Too Far?
This is a true story.
Today I had 2 lemons. I grated the rind and packed it and froze it. Then I juiced the lemons and poured the juice into an ice cube tray and froze that also. Then I took what was left of the lemons, spread them open and cleaned my shower door – which in hindsight was a mistake because then I had bits of lemon flesh caught in the steel framework and I had a job and a half to get that off. I then rinsed the shower door with clean water, and thought…..I would have had better results with washing up liquid. Then I took what was barely left of the lemons and popped them into my dishwasher, which I don’t use very much but today I did…because I had put lemons in! Then I spent the rest of the morning fretting about the fact that I had thrown the pips away – should I have been making jam today I wondered?
Is this a step too far? Do I see men in white coats approaching?
