Let's talk: Lemons
Lemons are amazing.
I have been on a warm-lemon-water-in-the-morning-and-sometimes-at-night binge for, oh, about 2 months. It's done wonders. I no longer crave coffee (which, after my chiropractor gave me a really mean look when he saw me with a Starbucks cup, is a habit I've been working to kick).
Freshly squeezed lemon + seasoning happens to be a great replacement for salad dressing (add Sriracha for a kick), and when you just can't drink another glass of boring ol' water, lemon to the rescue!
Lemon bars: whoa. Not healthy, but damn! So delicious.
Lemons are digestive aids, liver cleansers (although mixing it with tequila does not just equal "nothing" I've learned), they promote a boosted immunity, and help your body fight infection.
OH. One more thing: I mixed the juice from a whole lemon with baking soda to make a paste. I put this paste ON MY FACE (probably best not to eat it), and it cleared up the annoying little blackheads that sometimes make a pesky appearance on my nose.
Short of mixing lemon juice and water to spray all over my body for perfume, I've found a lot of household and beauty purposes for LEMONS!
And they are pretty.
All that said, my new favorite yogurt, Noosa, has a lemon flavor! Even though I'm a lactard, I will indulge in a few bights every once in a while of this perfect Colorado-based delight. It's now here in the Eastern Sierra. WINNING.
That's all I have to say. For now.
