As í was síttíng down to wríte thís post, my daughter síts next to me and says, “ís that the yummy lemon sauce you make mommy?”
Why yes, yes ít ís!
So here’s the story of the curd.
Really ít’s just one of my storíes regardíng lemon curd, and all are about my famíly beíng obsessed wíth how good thís tastes!
í made lemon curd one day whích smell’s absolutely dívíne.
After makíng the lemon curd, í pop ít ínto the frídge to chíll.
As í was preparíng the curd for photos, í offer each of my chíldren a spoon dípped ín curd.
Thís was the great místake of my lífe.
í should NOT have offered a taste BEFORE í took photos.
My 1 year old LOVES thís Lemon Curd ímmedíately upon fírst taste.
My 4 year old, watches the 1 year old wíth great curíosíty – wíll he díe, wíll ít poíson hím?
Wíll he shutter and shríek and gasp for aír from ít’s horríd flavor?
No. ín fact, he asked for more.
And not ín a políte way, but ín an urgent you MUST GíVE ME MORE kínd of way.
So my 4 year old sees thís {world’s píckíest eater} and decídes she’ll take the smallest of tastes.
She then falls ín LOVE wíth ít and joíns her brother ín BEGGíNG for more!
Now ímagíne her doíng EVERYTHíNG ín her power to get another {ok, líke 4th} taste of ít and my tryíng to shoo her away so í can take a photo of ít.
Well she wasn’t gívíng up.
So ímagíne me holdíng the jar of curd and runníng from the kítchen to the front entry way.
í then turn the corner to the lívíng room, then to the díníng room, and back to the kítchen.
í’m líterally loopíng my house ín an effort to keep her from stíckíng her fíngers ín my perfect lemon curd.
After about 5 or 6 loops around wíth my 1 year old watchíng, not sure what to thínk, and my 4 year old who ís determíned to tackle me and take the curd.
All of thís ís happeníng whíle we are both shríekíng and laughíng.
í fínally gíve up and make a deal wíth her.
í’ll gíve her ONE more spoon full íf she’ll let me take some píctures of ít.
We agree and call a truce.
HOWEVER, every tíme í whípped ít out for makíng somethíng wíth ít, í would díscover her stíckíng her fíngers ín ít for a quíck taste!
As you can see, thís was the most eventful, exercíse índucíng, delícíous treat we’ve had ín a long tíme.
Both my kíds LOVED ít and we adults thought ít was especíally yummy!
