Lemon

Expensive items help us recognizing the value of the thing surrounding us. You might need to work harder to get them, so you will appreciate them more. Like lemons. I used to have three lemon trees in Sicily, and lemons were for free in the whole year. Every now and then I would tear a lemon leaf from the three, and stick my nose in it, just for the sake of it.

In the Netherlands lemons are a rare fruit, wanted as expensive. So when you cook, you should use the juice as the skin. As in the polpette alla siciliana, that I preparred today. An attack to the success of my diet, made of minced meat, pecorino, flower, pan grattato, persil, wine, eggs, laurie, and with the unmistakable taste of lemon in it. Recepy is not mine, so I wont publish it, but the dish is as close as an oral orgasm meat balls can get.
