Lemons!

What do you do when life hands you lemons? Make lemonade? Although it is getting warm enough here in the Bay Area for a frosty glass of citrus-y goodness, I'd rather bake mine into something tasty. With a bagful of lemons on hand, I decided to crank out some lemon bars, lemon madeleines and lemon pound cake with a lemon glaze.

Having never baked lemon bars before, I made the mistake of not carefully watching my crust. Sadly it came out a little burnt, but was still good.

 The lemon glazed pound cake was my variation of Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake, with lemon juice and zest added to the batter. Now if only I could figure what to do with the figurative lemons in my life!
