Chocolate-covered cherries!

Cookies of some type. Vanilla wafers, some more upscale version of a butter cookie like Pepperidge Farms Chessmen would be my first thought.

Fresh fruit or vanilla wafers.

Fresh berries
Angel food cake
Blueberries
Nilla wafers or ladyfingers

Ice: If you used fresh lemons, please send recipe.

It should be the center of a lemon meringue pie with a graham cracker crust. It happens to be one of my specialties. The hand mixer and O’Keefe & Merritt range that I inherited from my grandmother team up to make the best pie.

Now I want fresh lemon custard.

I know a lot of people like Meyers, but I prefer the Eureka’s brightness and directness.

gailcalled's avatar

@PupnTaco; not a clue. What are Meyers and Eurekas? Lemons?

AstroChuck's avatar

I like pudding hot, in a mug. Especially vanilla pudding. Not instant.

iCeskate's avatar

I made instant

gailcalled's avatar

Oh, boo hoo. (Read the ingredients sometime when you feel like being upset.)

iCeskate's avatar

@gailcalled what?

gailcalled's avatar

Read the ingredients on the side of the package of Instant lemon pudding.

Gail: Read the ingredients…......why ruin it for yourself? Just eat and enjoy. Try the pudding w/vanilla wafers.. Thats great!

marinelife's avatar

@gailcalled. Yes, lemons.

PupnTaco's avatar

@ Gail: Eureka is the standard large yellow lemon, Meyers are smaller with thinner skin and a sweeter juice, like it has a touch of tangerine.

PupnTaco's avatar

It really is easy to make fresh. If you can read, you can cook.

@gailcalled, meyers are very popular right now as a fruit tree that will produce even when kept as a house plant. I’ve never tasted one, so I don’t know if the taste is significantly different. I do know that the blooms smell heavenly.

skfinkel's avatar

Gail, I am here in CA with M and Z, and they have a tree in the backyard filled with meyer lemons. She is wearing the bracelet and says: Aunt Gail gave this to me..”

gailcalled's avatar

@skf: check your email. There is a pic for M.

@banjo: homemade poundcake with crystalized ginger pieces in it! Hea-ven!

playthebanjo's avatar

@breedmitch: yum- that sounds really good. feel free to message me the recipe you are using!

I love to add the crystalized ginger into stir-fries…but I think that it would be fantastic in desserts too!

breedmitch's avatar

I use it in shortbread cookies too!

Seesul's avatar

@gail. at least the side of the box doesn’t list beef lips. When my sis was a young bride, and they just started labeling everything, she started reading the ingredients in the hot dogs she was about to feed her kids. There were other things as well, but it’s suppertime here, so I’ll spare you.

Lemon pudding also goes great as a filling in a rum cake or vise versa.

We have access to a Meyer lemon and they are my favorite for cooking. I had to use an excess amount of them up once and found the lemon ice recipe in my mom’s 1949 cookbook filled the bill. I now make it and store it for winter sore throat season.

It’s wonderful having so many lemons you have to make up excuses to use them.

marinelife's avatar

@Seesul Always available for lemon overflow.

@breedmitch That sounds delicious.

@playthebanjo I like this avatar best of any of yours I seen so far. Nice.

playthebanjo's avatar

Thanks Marina… : ) I know that yours is a jellyfish…but I cannot get the image of the glowing eyes of a Ninja out of my head. It is kind of like the image of the skull that turns into the lady at the mirror. First it’s a ninja, then a jellyfish, then a ninja….

AstroChuck's avatar

@playthebanjo- That’s so funny. I’ve always thought that looked like a ninja too. I also think that the green jelly avatar looks like a human skull x-ray.

jlm11f's avatar

@ playthebanjo, astrochuck – oh good, i thought that was just me lol!

melly6708's avatar

cookies.. yummm

marinelife's avatar

@ptb, ac and pnl That’s me—the word ninja. (Actually, until you pointed it out, I had not thought of it that way. Of course, I saw the image when it was big.) BTW, PnL I am not sure what your SN stands for, but from my corporate days it always reads in my head as Profit and Loss (PNL, as they say in the trade.). And Astrochuck, I have been taken aback by the green jelly image for the same reason, but some of the green jelly Flutherers are so great, I got over it.

jlm11f's avatar

haha wow i never thought of it like that! its crazy how we can all see the same thing and think of something different based on our past experiences.

susanc's avatar

About that lemon pudding, have you eaten it yet? I bet it’s gone. If not, how about
frozen raspberries for crunch and flavor bursts? Or frozen
blueberries?

St.George's avatar

Something salty like a short bread or make some short dough tartlettes and fill them with the lemon pudding.

playthebanjo's avatar

I thought the PNL was for profit and loss as well.

Seesul's avatar

This cracks me up, this is becoming the new “cake” question.
So end the suspense, PLEASE, what did you do with the pudding and what are your plans for lemon pudding in the future? The fluther world is waiting with lemon scented breath.

iCeskate's avatar

well its sitting in my fridge with maybe three spoonfuls took out that was ate but other than that I don’t have plans I didn’t really like it

jlm11f's avatar

well that was anti-climatic….

playthebanjo's avatar

now a new question…what to do with leftover lemon pudding?

gailcalled's avatar

If it’s instant, no wonder Ice didn’t like it. Spackle, grout, trap for fire ants?

Seesul's avatar

…or, as suggested by one of the teachers after an overnight field trip with the kids (who wouldn’t eat oatmeal) to Fort Point: “I guess we could use it as an Art project.

gailcalled's avatar

Wallpaper paste?

babygalll's avatar

With the left over pudding you can make a triffle with either bananas or fresh berries, vanilla wafers, and cool whip. Alternate layers until it’s all gone. Yummy!

gooch's avatar

vinella wafers and a big glass of whole milk.
