It's raining and winding and hailing!

And I'm staying at home, making lemon curd. This involves stirring stuff over a double boiler for a while, so here I am, stirring:

Hail? Really? I knew about the rain and the wind, but... maybe instead of going to a birthday party on the other side of town, I'll stay here and make soup stock.

I can't confirm the hail; but for a few minutes the noise against my windows was definitely louder than the average rain&wind storm.

What a cute picture! I don't know what lemon curd is, but cooking and reading sounds so pleasant right now.

The ingredients of lemon curd involve sugar, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs to make everything thicken. It's really, really yummy--like lemon custard--and it's particularly good on homemade biscuits and/or cheesecake. You should be able to find some in the supermarket--it was available even in Ft. Wayne, so it's not that rare--but if you've got a rainy day and some lemons, it's very easy to make.
