Dumb question about lemon zest

[Cornish Cream]

Denise you are going to have to fill the space left by Frozzie when after she returns to our time zone in Sept - she has frequently been the recipient of my nocturnal ramblings   

It will be an honour to replace her   I'm going to miss my European buddy   I bought the potato peeler on our recommendation so no pressure

i did have a sleeping this morning i got up at 3 45  its better than 2am 

i use a potato peeler 2 the best one is the Culinare one it perfect to peel the lemons for the limoncello

Definitely bought the right one then
I would never make it through the day if I got up that early.

Now back to bed sleepy heads....

I use Mums lemon zester, pretty good.

Yes Frozzie will be back soon.

[Amy :-)]

I love my vegetable peeler Its much easier to use than those ones you have to hold to the side. And its green. Who wouldn't want a green vegetable peeler?
Does anyone have one like mine?

[fundj&e]

i only use my peeler for lemons and carrots. i really dont like peeler 

[judydawn]

I only use mine for carrots.  I do potatoes with a knife for some reason.  My Dad used to tear his hair out watching me peel a potato and wasting so much of it. It just takes me too long to use a peeler on potatoes and I'm an impatient person who wants things done quickly.  I love my zester for lemons, ginger or for grating parmesan over pasta to serve.  It just goes in the dishwasher then.

I have one like yours Amy, its orange.

[Amy :-)]

I have one like yours Amy, its orange.

Yay Robyn!! Orange is very cool too But shouldn't yours be yellow to go with all your lemons?

  . . .  so you see, Lees75? . . if you hadn't have asked your question this whole conversation and the sharing of ideas probably would not have taken place . . and CC wouldn't have found her peeler!!   . . Your question was a valuable contribution I should think!

[lauzzie]

Wouldnt you just peel a piece of lemon rind off your lemon with a peeler and pulverise in the TMX along with the sugar.   I have never zested a lemon since I have had Thermie I just put the peeled piece of skin (minus the pith) in the bowl and blitz!!

[Lees75]

Glad to be of service, goldfish

Lauzzie, that makes sense, but I didn't even know whether or not to include the pith- lol! But now I know

[lauzzie]

It's all just a learning process.  For months after I bought Thermie I kept buying caster sugar and ground almonds.   But now I am so used to making my own caster sugar from raw sugar and only buy whole almonds now and grind them myself.  It just takes time to think a little differently
