No lemon. I've always hated lemon in my ice water. I'll send it back, and don't take the lemon off the rim and bring it back to me, I can smell the oil on the rim.
Beverly, you are dead to me. DED.
I love lemon more than anyone I know. I buy probably 5-6 of the large bottle of juice a month. I use it in tea and water, in cooking, and occasionally just swig it straight from the bottle, cold.
I stopped eating lemons in my late 20's, because it just destroyed my front teeth enamel and I had to get veneers, but I'll have a couple, halved, with salt a few times a year. As a kid, I would segment them, like an orange, and sprinkle with salt, and I could eat a bag in a day that way.
William-Sonoma has Meyer lemon juice in bottles and I frickin' love that. If it weren't so pricey, I'd indulge more often.
If I could get a job as a lemon sommlier, I'd do it.

Lemon juice? Straight?
I am staring, but I'm not sure if it's in awe or in horror.
bon, I can always rely on you to...to something.
I hate lemon.

I like lemon in things: lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, lemon thins, frozen lemon custard. Just...don't put lemon on my fish, or in my drinks. Unless it's lemonade, and then go crazy.
Amy, ALSO DED.
Yup, Connie, straight. I will never, ever, EVER have scurvy.
My mom says when she was pregnant with me, she craved lemons with salt, so I totally blame this lemon thing on her.
I really have to be careful when cooking things with lemon for Dan, because my acceptable lemony-ness is not normal. I DO make one hell of a lemon chicken with pecan pilaf, and lemon bars with Meyer lemon juice.
I also hate my nose, although it's my dad's so I feel like I should give it a break, since he's awesome. S. has a lovely elegant nose, which the children seem to have inherited, and this is a comfort to me.

It's my name I always thought was too young. I love it now, but for a long time I was convinced Amy was just not a grownup name.
My favorite use for lemons is to halve them, sprinkle sea salt on my chopping block, and scrub it down using the lemon to scrub the salt in. The salt and lemon bleach everything, the coarse salt scrubs, and the surface is clean with no icky chemical nastness. Running lemon innards and peels (after juicing) through the disposal is good, too. And I do dry lemon peel, like orange and tangerine peel, for leather, which I use in chunks in my oil burner, along with herbs and spices.

Ooh, I like that. I may have to try it.
I am a big fan of lemon. I don't eat them straight, but other than that. Every now and then they sell lemon fruit drink here (which is awesome as long as it's not too sweet), but it always gets discontinued and winds up tasting of betrayal.
