I thought this was a nice dessert and very easy. You are so right about the straining thing. I wonder if there was a misprint in the book, do you think? I'm not an octobaker ar ar So glad you got to enjoy the lemons and you should really try drizzling chocolate with your lemon treats sometime. Its a good combination.<BR/>AmyRuthAmyRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169683439490074470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254099588758515056.post-74603718543980506242009-03-11T17:06:00.000-07:002009-03-11T17:06:00.000-07:00lemon is one of my favorites, too. so cheery and f...lemon is one of my favorites, too. so cheery and fresh and zingy. and, i agree with you about most restaurant chocolate creations...we can make better at home:)dharmagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601284344804143589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254099588758515056.post-4719843276418334532009-03-11T16:41:00.000-07:002009-03-11T16:41:00.000-07:00I love lemon too!
