Musings of a dieting housewife

Some thoughts from my kitchen...


I love preserved lemons. I eat them straight from the jar
that I keep in my frig.
I made them myself. Well,as much as I can for living nowhere near sea salt or lemon groves.

I feel exotic. They make me think of Morocco.
They make me forget that I am nowhere near the sea or a lemon grove.
They taste like an electric jolt to my tongue. A jolt of sharp, saline citrus, pungent and clean. They don't leave a bitter taste in my mouth even though they remind me of tears.
I slurp them down at the sink, staring out the window,
wondering if the chicken defrosting on the counter is going to make us sick later.
