Last week we had Jason's family Christmas party. One of the white elephant gifts was this lemon. Now this was no ordinary lemon, this was a supersize, mega, jumbo lemon. 
I'm thinking, hey, one of these lemons and I can make a whole pitcher of lemonade, or 3-4 lemon meringue pies. I wouldn't have believed it was true except that we got it from one of Jason's cousins who I know is a pillar of honesty. She said that her lemon tree just grows these giant "miracle grow" lemons. They are this size even when they are green. 
So then I had to see what it would look like on the inside, and if it would really taste good. The verdict is...... YES, it tasted just like a delicious, sour lemon. And although it is ginormous from the outside there is quite a thick rind so it's not quite as much lemon as you might think.
I just thought this was kind of a funny looking fruit, and worth an honorable mention on my ever so humble blog. I'm sure that your mouth is watering for pie now huh?

I love the word "ginormous". It's so much better than big or huge. ;) And that was definitely one ginormous lemon! My parents get a couple like that every year. I loved the gingerbread cookies also! I'm saving the kid cookie day for when they get out of school and they're making me crazy. (which will be the afternoon of the 19th. ;)
Holy moly! That lemon is a freak of nature! Very odd.
