When life gives you.....
When life gives you lemon's
We want oranges
When we have oranges
We want peaches
When we have peaches
We ask
Does my bum look big in these!

A Chat With Life
Life: Here are some lemons for you.
Me: You can keep your lemons.
Life: But... but, don't you want to make lemonade?
Me: Not especially. Besides I don't like it when my lips pucker.
Life: So then, you don't want to kiss me?
Me: What! Kiss you? You have got to be joking!
Life: But you just said your lips pucker.
Me: Yeah, but not in a good way. They make my face wrinkly and weird looking.
Life: That's a shame. You do know lemons are healthy for you.
Me: See, that's the problem. Healthy things will kill me.
Life: I don't understand. Please explain.
Me: I've been eating all the wrong foods for years, drink four gallons of Pepsi a week.
Life: Wow! That much?
Me: Yes, and I never felt better. Why don't you just keep the lemons for yourself?
Life: I couldn't do that.
Me: Why not?
Life: They make life look ugly and wrinkly.
Me: (Just rolls my eyes.)
Lemons
When life gives you lemons, it is telling you to add a little zest to something that is bland.

sour grub. Then, seek the ones

souls, sugar replete, and while
the lemonade c h i l l s, blow
raspberries, t i c k l e feet.

Fuck Lemons
When Life gives you lemons, throw it away. Limes are better. Change my mind.
Life & lemons
When life gives you lemons, you make life easy peasy lemon squeezy; not sad, depressed, lemon zest.
when life gives you lemons.......
you squirt the stupid people in the eye.
and watch them cry.
Culinary Delight
When life gives you lemons:
Make sure to use the zest, it’s the best part.
Use them on seafood, meat and salad.
Add to vinagrettes and rich sauces (it’s really good in hollandaise).
Make a lemon merangue pie or lemon blueberry cake.
Sqeeze them over fruit with honey for a fantastic fruit salad.
Or sell them to chefs. They know exactly what to do with this culinary delight.
Seriously, you should see the giant boxes of lemons some kitchens have. Proably one of the most used fruits in restaurants. ^_^
Rot
When life gives me lemons, I tend to shove them to the bottom of the fruit basket and forget about them. Three weeks later, I find them covered in mold and throw them out.
I'm pretty sure there is a lesson in there somewere.
When life gives you lemons...eat them. Messily. Spread them between your fingers until they burn the edges of your mouth. Drip them down your chin, devour them all. Then swallow your fears, look life in the eye, and grin through your gritty teeth.
