Long-overdue announcement...

Two Whom It May Concern;

Calling it "zest" does not change the simple, inescapable fact that orange rind is not edible.

Thank you.

P.S. Coating it in chocolate is a violation of the 11th Commandment*.

*The Eleventh Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Waste Chocolate" or "Thou Shalt Honor The Chocolate And Keep It Holy," was not given to Moses because the descendants of the Israelites would not encounter actual chocolate for several thousand years. Giving the commandment at that time would simply have caused a lot of confusion, probably having to do with carob, which would just be sad. Instead, the commandment was hard-coded into our genetic structure, left as instincually obvious for those who would later encounter the real thing. (This is why you should never trust anyone who does not like chocolate.)

Wow. I'm touched. Apology accepted!

And... Hmm... Don't normally cook with actual egg yolks (or cream, for that matter), but, in honor of the occasion, I'll give it a shot.

Just not sure when. We leave for Florida in a couple of days. Won't be back until mid-December. Might get a chance to try it there. If not, hopefully I'll remember when I get back.

(Though yeah... I generally prefer lime to lemon. About the only lemon-thing I like is lemon cake, which is yellow cake made with lemon pudding, more or less.)

I promise I'll try this. And let you know.

In the meantime... since you guard the recipe so well, I'll screen the comment. Least I could do.
