When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Combustible lemons, aka lemon-nades.
Burning people! He says what we’re all thinking!
Was waiting for the Cave Johnson comment.
…arson again, you see! It’s the way to go!
This is such a wonderful throw-back
Have a lemon party.
If you understand this person you’re officially old
Old and looking to PARTY!
It’s weird being the same age as old people, tbh.
What if I understand but wish I didn’t?

That comment is goated, I think it’s so goated that I think it’s deserving of the adjective. It’s a totally goatse comment.

Arson is usually the answer, I concur
Cave Johnson answered that but I can’t recall and quote all that.

I like to buy discounted old lemons. I wrap them up and toss them in the freezer. They thaw ugly but are still good for cooking.
Good idea In what do you wrap them? Aluminium foil? Or caj I put them in freezer bags?
Plastic wrap, but a freezer bag with the air squeezed out would work too.
Squeeze half of the lemon, put it into shaker. Add a lot of ice and two teaspoons of powdered sugar. Shake it hard. Pour everything into a glass and add 5cl of gin. Steer it gently and enjoy your gin fix.
Is that like a gin Old-Fashioned?
I know it as “gin fix”.
If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.
Grill them. Seriously.
That sounds illegal
It’s amazing. The sugars caramelize and the bitterness falls away, leaving you with the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats or veggies.
Sounds cool but also sacrilege.
"Alright lemons, I’m asking the questions round here, you got that?”
Does it work on a frying pan (without oil, of course)? Asking for a friend.
Yes! You can put them facedown while you’re roasting a chicken in the pan, for example.
Thank you! I’m gonna do it.
Lemon bars 🤤
I also came here to recommend lemon bars! Here’s a viral recipe that everyone (including myself) swears by.
Sometimes you don’t have sugar or water onhand and can’t actually make lemonade. You just gotta eat the lemons. It sucks but you gotta.
Salted preserved lemons are delicious. Quarter them lengthwise but not all the way to the end, then smash them down into a jar with lots of salt, pack in as many as you can. Seal it up and give it a shake off and on for a few days, then leave it in the refrigerator for a month. Yum. Use the peels in cooking, they are salty, sour, bright tasting.
I’ve made this cake a couple of times. It’s quite good.
