Lemons

Becket gave me some beautiful meyer lemon's from her tree. I've been reading and comparing lemon tart and candied lemon rind recipes from Simple Food, Zuni, Pure Desserts and Tartine. I finally settled on Tartine's Shaker Lemon Pie. It's been a while since I've made pie crust. It turned out pretty well but I admit I did cut corners, like, I didn't let the crust rest before baking. It was 11pm so I figured, eh, it will be less flakey. I also reduced the sugar. The crust is less like Tartine and more like grandma used to make and the center has a little bite of zippy tartness which I love.
