I'm thinking that for my wedding, I'm going to keep in the food realm for everything and do lemon centerpieces and so forth. I bought a few 22-inch vases for a dramatic look that I plan to fill with 30 or so lemons a piece. Chances are, when I come back from my honeymoon, I will have like 100 lemons hanging around.So what do you do when the wedding gives you lemons? I have a few ideas.
First, lemoncello sounds like a fabulous use of all those lemons. But that leaves like 60 lemons and I want to use them before they go bad.
So, there are many dishes I can make immediately, like chicken piccata or lemon salad dressing.
Then, once they start to go a little south, I'm left with using them for cleaning. I suppose there are many surfaces that could be aided with lemons.
I need some help. What are lemons used for in your house?

PS--You said "like" in a teenager way. It irks me.
Hi Kelly, just stopped your blog and what a wonderful blog you have! Love your stories about your plants. Btw, congrats on your up coming wedding and may you be blessed with a long happy marriage. About your lemons,I would suggest you make some citrus pie or make lemon pickles to give away to family and friends.
I make tarts and madeleines.
Lemon sorbet, lemon curd--which you can incorporate into ice-cream and cheesecakes and will also freeze--lemonade, candied/preserved lemon peel...
There's also the option of preserving them in salt for middle-eastern tagine dishes.
When life hands you lemons...make lemonade...wink...
Lemon curd!
What a great idea for the centerpieces....
And preserved lemons... they keep longer!
Mmmm...lemon bars. :)
If you have a garbage disposal, a sliced lemon (or any citrus fruit) freshens it.
I used glass vases and limes for my wedding - it's a great centerpiece!
