Chalk drawing: Meyer Lemon

Last night I cut into one of the Meyer Lemons I picked up last week. I didn't really know the difference between the Meyer and my regular lemons but did know the Meyer is only available seasonally I picked some up. 

J commented that it was more like an orange and was excited about this new discovery. Curious, a quick google search today showed me he was 100% right! A Meyer Lemon is a lemon-orange hybrid of sorts—who knew!

I'm thinking I'll roast some up with rosemary, asparagus + quinoa tonight! I love this list of 100 things to do with a Meyer Lemon from the LA Times. 

Candy the peel, dusting with superfine sugar. Mmm, so good. It's fun to read that list, didn't know that you can do so many things with a lemon.

Meyer Lemon was brought into the US in the early 1900s by a man named Frank Meyer, after whom the lemons are named.
