I once did a slow cooker meal that called for 12 lemons. I put them in. Brought it my dad's nursing home for our regular Sunday night meal. I had not tasted it. My Dad and brother were like aaaahhhh!. I realized then the recipe was 1 to 2 lemons with a small dash in between which I didn't see. I can cook about a dozen things well. But that is it. Lucky that I've been single my whole life and not had to cook for anyone regularly except my parents who liked my dozen meals.
