Pucker up

Happy National Lemon Cupcake Day.

I don’t know why this is a holiday, especially in December with everything gingerbread, pumpkin spice, and chocolate. Perhaps that is why we need a day for lemon cupcakes. It is a pallet cleanser for the coming holidays.

I love lemon desserts. I had a wonderfully tart lemon bar at my Mom’s house. They were so good that I brought the extras home. Linda’s recipe is awesome.

Except at Christmastime, when I enjoy the gingerbread loaf, my go-to treat at Starbucks is the lemon loaf. It has the best icing.

Enjoy something tart today. There will be plenty of time for sweet stuff.
