a lemon throwdown

I bought a whole bunch of lemons last weekend so I could make the Lemony Lemonies I saw on Bakerella.  My mouth got all puckered up just looking at the shiny glaze with bits of lemon zest all nestled among the sweetness.  What finally sold me was the description of them as a "lemon brownie".   Tell me one thing that is not to like about that. 

Mine turned out a bit more yellow looking than Bakerella's.  I chalk that up to the farm fresh eggs with those orange yolks I get from my office-mate, the chicken farmer.  It is important for you to know that these are not cake-like brownies.   They are dense and chewy and ... hold on a minute I need to go and get another one right now.    You can't imagine the delicious feeling of your teeth sinking into the texture of these.  I am powerless to refuse anything lemon.

Speaking of... I can't wait to see what lemony treat Joyce is going to whip up for us in Summerland.  I might have to make her a lemon drop martini.  Maybe we can have a lemon throwdown.

My mouth is watering.

Here's a funny story. My grandmother used to make the BEST lemon meringue pie. When my father was dating my mother, my grandfather told him: "I'll give you my car; I'll give you my daughter; but I'll be d- - -ned, if I'll give you my lemon pie!

I enjoy your blog!

Oh, I might be able to get some fresh ages from my chicken man. Sadly foxes have had their fill of chooks.

I'm with you though...intense fresh lemon is a very strong contender to chocolate in my mouth.

Ohhh I may just have to try those what with all the new lemons my suddenly prolific lemon tree is giving me! I am discovering I too like lemony flavor in things cakey so I am sure I would love the brownies!
