Celia and Maureen's famous Lemondrops

a bag FULL of Meyer lemons stolen from Sue's tree
3/4 cup Sugar
6 cups water

Sneak over to Sue's house when she's not home (be sure to bring a bag), climb her fence and grab all the lemons you can reach. Be VERY careful to not let her neighbor see you (she takes pictures and finks!). Squeeze enough lemons for 2 cups of juice. Pour into a pitcher and add about 3/4 cup sugar (1 cup if you stole Eureka lemons from somewhere else - they are more tart). Add 6 cups of water. Pour into martini glasses and slip a slice of lemon (notched) onto the edge of your glass. Tell everyone you've added whatever kind of alcohol you'd typically add to make a REAL lemondrop drink (cuz i haven't a clue, and as long as they are only watching from afar, they'll never know the difference). Enjoy as many of these as you want - I promise... you WON'T be hung over in the morning with these! Go sit poolside with your sister (or friend) and enjoy the heck out of your accomplishments :)

Talk to Sue (Pruett)Miali, she has the story!
