    Tussy, am I to take it that you don't like lemon curd? GASP!!! I recently tried it for the first time and I am making up things to put it on. :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol: :mrgreen: Last nite a lemon pound cake with lemon curd spread on it and freshly picked yesterday blueberries. Yummy....[/quote]

    I love it - and orange curd and lime curd........ but all that sugar. It is not good that all these lovely things are tempting me - lemon meringue pie made with lemon curd..... oh my - drooling now. What is a poor diabetic to do???[/quote]

    We will make our lemon curd with splenda :thumbup: one of my clients is bringing me her receipe for homemade lemon curd, when I get it we'll make some ;) ;)[/quote]

    Sounds wonderful. Homemade lemon curd it one of the easiest things to do in the world. Can send you a recipe if you want.

    I am still waiting for my April package. Today will be the first day in about a week that I will be able to go outside to sit on the bench. Have checked my mailbox daily tho.

    You've not lived until you have eaten Marmite. I have given it a capital as it is a brand name. I've not got any in the house at the moment :cry: but it is a beefy and quite salty spread. Fabulous on toast. We had a advert campaign on TV recently based on the fact that you either love it or hate it - it was quite funny.

    Tussy, I'm very glad you told me/all of us that it is beef based, as I am vegetarian, I know of Marmite from a client in my salon (she is from England), she brought me a jar of it and said exactly that either you love it or hate it. On the jar it says it's yeast, I wondered about that but Ginny said that it's a vegetable spread. She also said that a little goes a long way, so use it sparingly. We can buy it here in Florida at our supermarkets. I would love your receipe for homemade lemon curd. Thank you for your very generous offer. I would love to TRY to make it.

    But everything is fine now!!!
