Lemons and Locust

last night i made meyer lemon creams from one of my favorite blogs tartelette.....

this morning i got the ladder out to cut flowers from my favorite tree the locust.....

then i photographed my little lemon puddings if you will because thats kinda what they are and i also made some fresh whipping cream and toasted pinenuts....

the crazy thing about cutting these flowers are the big fat black bumble bees that swarm around these blossoms but they didnt get me as i was fast and i am sure im not as exciting as the flowers....so they left me alone....

but what i did get was this for my breakfast.... oh yeah they were pretty good.....a little less tart than lemon curd but thats the flavor.....

these trees grow like weeds sending suckers off them everywhere.....someday i hope to have way too many of them because how gorgeous would that march be? they also have a delicate sweet scent....i really do fantasize about strange things.....there are also no bees in my fantasies either....bees are wonderful though sometimes when i pass our citrus trees they actually sound alive with all that humming.....

here is what the puddings looked like last night.....the thing i liked about this recipe is it was all done in one pot which makes it very convenient and easy to clean up....click on the link under the first picture for the post and recipe....her food styling is amazing....someday mine will be too!
