Any Lemon Ideas?
So I live in Florida and we have a lemon tree in our yard, and come to find out that November is the time that lemons are in season. I've made lemon bars twice and use a lemon in a pitcher of water (3 times already), but I have about 10 lemons left that are going to be ripe very soon and need to be used. Any ideas?

I'm new, but love to cook!
Hey Everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself since I look at this blog all the time--my name is Nellie and I got this site from Kristen. I have only been married 2 years and so have only been practicing the home-making skills for a short time (college doesn't really count for me--microwave cheese tortillas don't cut it anymore!) so I'm always up for tips and ways to improve my skills in the kitchen. I am 26, just barely, and have a 13 month old daughter and one the way in January. Closer than we planned, but whatever, we're happy! I love reading, sports and doing anything outside, especially in the cooler fall weather. I am also trying my hand at quilting/sewing. So far so good, but I'll keep you posted on that one. The recipe I'll share today is for marinated cucumbers, and it gives a great summer/fall kick to any meal. Enjoy!
Marinated Cucumbers
6 cucumbers (I use just however many people are eating, usually 2)
3/4 C white wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. cold water
1/2 C sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1Tbsp chopped dill
Mix and place sliced cucumbers in dressing. Chill. Serve.
