How does that taste?

Nana thinks it is the funniest thing when Grace eats lemons. In my family we all grew up eating lemons and squeezing their juice into our water at the dinner table. My grandmother was from Naples, and in that region of Italy they are famous for their lemons. When we visited in March 2007, my mother and I were surprised to see that their lemons were bigger than softballs and could cost over $10.00 each! The lemons of southern Italy are also much sweeter than the ones we grow in the United States which makes them perfect for making desserts and lemoncello!
