How did the lemon get such a bad rap? As in “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Or a lemon law to protect us from car clunkers. We’re plucking some lemons from the Meyer lemon tree this afternoon and making lemonade because the bright yellow fruit is ripe and it’s heading up to 85 degrees later.
