curd

hey thursday.
we got paid today and it wasn't as much as i was hoping.
boo.
the natural course would be to sulk and after the kids go to school, finish off this  beauty that i made yesterday.
because it was wednesday.
and i had a bag of lemons.
which i am using to liven up my water.
so i drink more of it.
to counteract the mass amounts of coke zero i consume.


where were we?


lemons.


so i made this:
lemon curd cake
martha's:
 mine:
i blame the discrepancy on fact that i don't have a white cake platter.


it tastes awesome though.
all 2 dozen eggs and a box of butter later.


nate doesn't like lemon flavored treats.
something about a pie eating contest gone wrong as a child.
maybe therapy would help.


in the mean time, it's up to me.

but, i am going to fight my urge to tackle this today, and go for a jog instead.
hello self control and discipline.

But Nate WON the pie eating event!

But if needed, I know a good therapist....

It looks delish to me! Here's my favorite lemon recipe. And since it is made with yogurt, it is totally healthy, right?! ;)
