finding the right lemons.

So, last month, in February, we were blown away by the number of lemon trees all over the island. Seriously, whether you were up in the mountains or chilling in one of the beach towns, you couldn't escape them. And guess what? We lucked out big time and got to pick a ton of lemons with the locals. I'm talking kilos of these bad boys! They were super fresh and massive, like, Sicilian-sized massive. And the smell? So citrusy and just loads of them!

We used a bunch for cooking and tossing into salads with freshly picked greens, but we also got in on this squeezing action with the locals. We were juicing lemons left and right, filling up bottles to stash away for whenever we needed them, especially for those hot summer days. Just a splash of that fresh lemon juice, some ice, and cold water – perfection!

The whole experience was awesome, and we're already counting down the days until next season rolls around.
