A careless purchase

[fpb]

What do I do with half a dozen limes? It's not an Italian fruit, I never had it before, and I have no idea whether it can even be eaten as it is.

For some reason, this made me laugh way more than it should have. You have some little time to figure out what to do with them.

Limeade!

(Don't try to eat them as is unless you also like eating lemons straight.)

--Make a key lime pie.

--Get a bottle of tequila, cut the limes into quarters. Take a shot, dip the lime quarters in some salt, and suck on the limes.

--Squeeze the juice onto fish.

They are very very nice squeezed onto avocado, or in guacamole. All likely recipes probably only account for one though. Any extra I would cut into quarters, wrap individually and freeze - then next time you want a G&T or similar, you have a ready made fruit slice + ice cube.

I second the motion for key lime pie. It's really the only thing I can think to make with half a dozen limes. Otherwise, I just purchase them individually for recipes (like guacamole) that call for a little lime juice.

Of course, Cherry Limeade is a nostalgic drink for me. Makes me think of my undergrad days.

And yes, food catches everybody: mainly with praise, since we like eating, as opposed to politics, where we want to argue...

Lime sorbet. It is a great palate cleanser between courses.

I recommend lots and lots of pico de gallo, which is also made with a lemon, cilantro, tomatoes, red onion and garlic, all well-chopped. Limes are really awesome. =)

garlic, juice of a lime and your favorite hot sauce, maybe some brown sugar.
Marinade some shrimp for a few hours (or overnight) then either saute, bake or grill.

Make punch! It's still cold enough outside!
