I'd like to know too as I have some fresh lemons brought back from Malta. Picked straight off my friend tree. At the moment they are just going into friends Earl Grey Tea which seems such a waste. Come on you cooks - give us some help!!
Not long to go with the Baby now, maybe a lemon Curry when you get nearer your due date LOL !!

XXMy mum used to cut them
Up and freeze them, then whenever u have a g and t use one of the lemon slices as ice! Also, if u cut one in half u can put it in the fridge, makes it smell nice. Or If u have a microwave, cut up two lemons and put in a bowl of water and put it on for 5 minutes, cleans the inside for u! X

here are a couple that I have from Slimming World:
Lemon Mousse
rind and juice of two lemons
8 level tbsp artificial sweetener
3 eggs separated
2 tbsp hot water
1 sachet gelatine
6ozs very low fat natural fromage frai
1 egg white
pinch of salt or cream of tartar
method-
put grated lemon rind and juice in blow with sweetener and egg yolks. Stand over saucepan of simmering water and whisk until lemon in colour and just beginning to thicken (this takes 10 - 15 mins)
Pour the hot water into small basin, sprinkle on gelatine and stir well. Stand in pan of simmering water and leave until gelative has fully dissolved.
Stir dissolved gelatine into the lemon custard and leave until it is beginning to set. Fold the fromage frai into the setting lemon mixture.
Pour into serving dish and put in fridge for 2-3 hours before serving.
I'll put the next one on a new post.

I think my daughter once told me that she used a fresh lemon on her skin at night. Had a quick look on google and this site has lots of beauty tips using fresh lemons

Thanks Jane. I like this one
Bleach Hair - The all natural alternative to bleach is to use the juice from 1/2 - 1 lemon into your hair. Squeeze it directly into your hair. (Don't worry if you get some seeds in your hair. You'll rinse those out later!) Sit in the sun for 25 minutes. Shampoo and condition as usual. If your hair is light colored, you will see more blonde highlights. If you have darker hair, you will notice some nice red tones.
Just got to wait for some sunshine now

Shove a whole lemon in a chicken and roast.Yum
For sure, I'd be either slicing them, soaking them in hot water and drinking with a little honey (vitamins and good for you) or I'd be juicing them and adding the rich lemon juice to a cookery dish... probably a stir fry or chicken dish...
Don't waste them Sal... they're vitamin C and let us know what you do with them.
Love and hugs and keep your hands busy... hope the non smoking is working out... xxx
