There is something so summery about lemons. I love to surround myself with their wonderful scent, color and flavor. So I guess it is no surprise that my shower gel choice is Lemon Custard by Philosophy. I have stared at the bottle during each shower to read the luscious Lemon custard recipe printed on the bottle. This morning…the bottle was empty, summer is ending as well so it is not a terrible loss, but how could I not make the easy custard recipe. So I did. And it is as good as I imaged during a summer of showers.

The usual cast of Characters

1/2 cup white sugar.

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

2 egg yolks

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup lemon juice

2 tbsp of butter

The Steps To Glory

1. Over medium heat combine sugar, cornstarch and salt

2. Beat egg yolks and water and whisk into sugar mixture

3. Simmer until thick

4. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter

5. Spoon into tall glass and layer with fruit or fruit sauce. I used vanilla strawberry and chill for 2 hours before serving.

Enjoy on a hot summer afternoon…the Princess is reserving judgement.

What a strange summer it has been, not a lot of things to pencil into my planner, but simple pleasures around the house are leaving me, mostly, content. I know the Princess has missed her camps and programs, but bike rides and walks around our lovely neighborhood have taken on more meaning. Our garden and porch flowers have been flourishing with daily care, without the interruption of vacations. Would I want to repeat this summer again in 2021…probably not, but my family has found joy in this season, and I definitely would like to experience that again no matter the circumstances.

Yellow days,
sipped like tangy lemonade.

Sweet are breezes
wafting by
with mellow spices 
baked inside.

Lean back days
have no cares,
they creak 
like comfy rocking chairs

and watch the hours
flutter by
like lazy yellow
butterflies.

By jaclin. (Link to original poem source)

And bubbles…bubbles…bubbles!!!
