  1. Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ Was tempted [as always!] to include some lemon zest, but this time I didn't, & I'm glad, 'cause this dessert had a nice delicate lemon taste to it that I really liked! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live with my husband of 34 years in Oregon. We have 3 great kids and 4 beautiful grandchildren, 6 year old triplets and a soon to be 2 year old. Our daughter lives in Athens, Greece with her husband and our youngest, a son, just got married last summer. My stepson and his wife are the parents of our grandchildren and live about an hour away. Our family is growing and it's always fun to have them all together! I love to travel. I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and have visited our daughter in Greece several times. During my travels I always enjoy the local food and have fun trying to re-create it at home. To pay the bills, I've been a hairstylist for 40 years and I still love it. I knit, sew, read and I'm just beginning to become interested in quilting,digital scrapbooking and geneology.
