Dumb question for you, GP: do I peel the lemons?

cat1116 · 02-07-2012, 10:56 AM

Last summer I picked up one of those Daily or Dailies mixed drink pouches. Pop it in the freezer and great on weekends. I didn't know how good it would taste so I only bought one of them. It was really good and now I can't seem to find any of them around. Perhaps just seasonal

but thought one can take a mixed drink any time of the year. Regretting only buying one

Speaking of not seeing something - where do you suppose those Girl Scout cookies are?

I've heard on some forums that they're selling but haven't seen them in my area yet.

I do, but I can't imagine that peel, being as thin as it is, would be a problem. But I peel just about all fruit (except grapes, for the most part) cause I know that there is so much pollution (and bug spray, etc) in most farms/air that I feel the protective properties are such that it is probably better for me to not eat it. But that is my idiosyncrasy.

The pith on a Meyer is bitter, better to peel 'em.

Okay, thanks.

Usually lox, but I've had smoked salmon (a fillet) which had the texture of cooked fish. I prefer the lox, Nova, with a bagel and a schmear. A few capers, some purple onion, cucumber salad on the all go well with this.

I really need to find a Meyer lemon.

I can do w/o the capers but the rest is fine. I don't know if we have Meyer lemons here.
