So as I browsed around Whole Foods today, I came across some uber-soft cute little meyer lemonade. Needless to say, I tossed one in my basket and kept on isle cruising. When I got back to my dorm, it hit me...um- what am I going to DO with this lemon? Put it on my salad? Toss it with salt on steamed spinach? Or...make lemonade! Yes yes it is about 20 degrees outside, and lemonade is more popular in the warmer weather. However, I tossed it in a glass of ice water, threw in some sweetener, mixed, and sipped! YUM! What are some other uses ya'll have for meyer lemons that are simple quick and easy...you know, for us college students living in dorms with miniscule, microscpic kitchens (hehe).

Ok, heres the deal...I've been hearing all about truffle mushrooms and have been wanting to taste them! I know I know, I may be the last person on earth that hasn't yet indulged in the pleasure that is a truffle, SO- share your experiences! Can anyone clue me in on the taste, texture, and what I should look for in purchasing truffles? PS: Perhaps one main reason I have not tried truffles is...I am a college student- on a budget!!
