one thanksgiving many years ago, i decided to make a lemon pie for dessert. it was featured on the cover of gourmet magazine. now, sometimes i\u2019ve made stuff out of gourmet, and it hasn\u2019t turned out so well. this has disturbed me because i don\u2019t like wasting my time making something that isn\u2019t good. the best magazine i\u2019ve found for recipes is eating well<\/i>, although they quit publishing, which was a darn shame. they started up again, but it wasn\u2019t the same at all, and i don\u2019t know if they\u2019re still in business or not.<\/p>\n
so, this lemon pie called for very thinly sliced lemons, sliced with the skins on. this sounded a little weird to me, but they had to be soaked and cooked in sugar for a while, as i recall, and i figured that they\u2019d be ok, kind of like watermelon pickles or something. <\/p>\n
the pie looked very very pretty. and it tasted HORRIBLE. tart, like lemon rind, and inedible.<\/p>\n
i was upset about it and i guess i talked about it quite a bit, because ever since then, whenever anybody in my family obsesses\/worries about something (which happens quite a bit with some of us), somebody else will say, “just let it go, like the lemon pie.”<\/p>\n
ok then, letting the bad mood go right NOW. <\/p>\n
like the lemon pie.<\/p>\n
