Culinary and/or philosophical advice welcome
If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.
You should take their seeds, irradiate them and set up a gamma garden
Egyptians didn’t have cranes, but that didn’t stop them, they used what they had (alot of /slaves/ workers died but that’s not the point), and made amaizing pyramid structures that stand tall to this day.
I mean, lemonade came from a dude who only had lemons on his farm (at least it’s what I believe)
What ever life gave you, it has potential that might not have been discovered, yet. I mean, who’d thought a long-cross screw and nuts on either side could be used to lift a tonne of vehicle for a tyre change?
Use what you have to bring about what you love.
Egyptians didn’t have cranes
But they did have storks, which are almost as good.
When life gives you storks…
…make pyramids.
Lemon bars 🤤
I also came here to recommend lemon bars! Here’s a viral recipe that everyone (including myself) swears by.
Find a fuck-load of sugar and carbonated water
Good luck :)
The last time life gave me lemons, I gave them to someone starving on the streets.
Honestly if I was homeless and someone handed me a lemon… like, just a lemon… desperate times I guess
No risk of scurvy at least.
I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.
Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.
pull out the zester and take off that outer rine. slice it into haves and squeeze out all of the juice, and throw the pulp away. sprinkle the juice over a nice piece of fish and some salad. cook the fish and serve the salad. problems solved.
Grill them. Seriously.
"Alright lemons, I’m asking the questions round here, you got that?”
Does it work on a frying pan (without oil, of course)? Asking for a friend.
Yes! You can put them facedown while you’re roasting a chicken in the pan, for example.
Thank you! I’m gonna do it.
That sounds illegal
It’s amazing. The sugars caramelize and the bitterness falls away, leaving you with the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats or veggies.
Sounds cool but also sacrilege.
Make lemonade. - Get mad!! Make life take the lemons back!!
When life gives you lemons…
Cocaine
I’ll do you one further : Cocainade
Hell yes, rocket propelled cocainades
Throw them at the clown who gave them to you while you were asking for something to eat.
Juice them and freeze the juice as ice cubes, then bag them, store in deep freezer.
Then you have delicious lemon juice ready at your finger tips for ever and ever.
I’ve made this cake a couple of times. It’s quite good.
Cave Johnson answered that but I can’t recall and quote all that.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I’m going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
