lemon love


i am now trying to make lemon bread - i was out of sugar and baking powder and lost my loaf pan. but i already started. thank god for neighbors that had baking powder - had to bridge the language barrier with their spanish speaking nanny and then to the corner store for more sugar and found the pan. the lemon bread was $4.29 at trader joes. I have spent $3.00 on flour, $4.00 for sugar and $3.00 for baking powder, $1.29 for lemons. I should have bought the premade lemon loaf.
i substituted 1/4 of the sugar with brown sugar and all of the milk with buttermilk - i had it so why not use it! frankensteining recipes at it's best!

ok - it's the evening now and everything is complete -here is the recipe and it was yummy. i'm sure even better tomorrow as baked things usually are. do not cook the lemon and sugar too long or it will get bitter.
