[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Argh okay Im the outlier...i followed the recipe exactly except since I did not have real lemons I used 1/4 cup of lemon juice in place. It was a good meal, but it was way more bland then I expected based on all the raves.  It was ya know, fine, but nothing exceptional.  What did I do wrong?  More lemon juice?  Real lemons next time? (No, I don't have covid)[/quote]

Wait.  Did you use actual lemon juice or some crap that lasts forever?  That isn’t lemon juice.[b]  All of your recipes are going to taste so much worse.  It really isn’t so hard to keep lemons around.  If you insist on cooking poorly, please don’t ever write a review.[/b][/quote]

Not the PP you responded to, but-- have you been to a grocery store lately? It actually IS so hard to keep lemons around, when there are shortages of everything. I'm constantly substituting ingredients because I can't find the most basic things. I bought a big bottle of lemon juice *because the store was out of lemons*. I know that the entire purpose of DCUM is to judge and criticize random internet strangers, but it's ridiculous to criticize someone for... trying to cook and grocery shop in a pandemic-induced food shortage??[/quote]

Not PP, but will chime in here for future reference in case it's helpful: I recently got a bag of lemons at Costco. Juiced them all into ice cube trays, then popped into a freezer bag. It's lovely to have on hand![/quote]
