Welcome

May you be happy, comfortable, and safe,
May your door be always open to friends,
May your kettle always be singing its welcome to you,
And to all whom you so dearly love.

Because I always misplace my recipe cards, I started this blog so I will have an extra copy of the things my family and I enjoy fixing. The pictures are all "in my head", so I don't use the camera to make the posts look fancy. Besides, it is just faster to write the recipes because I tend to be rather impatient while photos slowly load!

Haiku

Warm from the oven
So great tasting and yummy
Delicious then gone

LEMON CURD

4 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 lemons
12 T. unsalted butter

Wash lemons and grate the rind of 2 of the lemons. Then cut in half and squeeze the juice from the lemons and discard seeds.

Beat eggs and sugar together until fluffy. Add the lemon juice.

Pour the mixture into a pan and cook over low heat, stirring continually. Add butter 1 Tablespoon at a time. Cook until thickened. Add the lemon zest.

Pour the mixture into sterilized jars and screw lids on tightly. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with scones.

This is an easy recipe because you don't have to worry about the eggs curdling and lumping.
