Living in San Francisco over the last year has probably influenced me more than I realize. For example, Saturday I found myself with a dozen lemons on hand. So I:

1. Completely failed to question the ownership of so much citrus.

2. Did not make vodka lemonade or let them go moldy from neglect in a fruit bowl but instead decided on baking a lemon cake from Gormet magazine.

3. Decided not to use Cool Whip or even homemade whipped cream as an accompaniment but instead chose cr�me fraiche.

4. If that wasn�t bad enough I made both types, the one that uses sour cream and the other one that uses buttermilk.

Damn it.
