When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Cave Johnson answered that but I can't recall and quote all that.

Squeeze half of the lemon, put it into shaker. Add a lot of ice and two teaspoons of powdered sugar. Shake it hard. Pour everything into a glass and add 5cl of gin. Steer it gently and enjoy your gin fix.

I like to buy discounted old lemons. I wrap them up and toss them in the freezer. They thaw ugly but are still good for cooking.

Grill them. Seriously.

If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.

I've made this cake a couple of times. It's quite good.

Lemon bars 🤤

Salted preserved lemons are delicious. Quarter them lengthwise but not all the way to the end, then smash them down into a jar with lots of salt, pack in as many as you can. Seal it up and give it a shake off and on for a few days, then leave it in the refrigerator for a month. Yum. Use the peels in cooking, they are salty, sour, bright tasting.

Sometimes you don't have sugar or water onhand and can't actually make lemonade. You just gotta eat the lemons. It sucks but you gotta.

Make lemon cake 🍰

You should take their seeds, irradiate them and set up a gamma garden

Juice them and freeze the juice as ice cubes, then bag them, store in deep freezer.

Then you have delicious lemon juice ready at your finger tips for ever and ever.

I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.

Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.

Make lemonade. - Get mad!! Make life take the lemons back!!

When life gives you lemons...

Cocaine

Throw them at the clown who gave them to you while you were asking for something to eat.

pull out the zester and take off that outer rine. slice it into haves and squeeze out all of the juice, and throw the pulp away. sprinkle the juice over a nice piece of fish and some salad. cook the fish and serve the salad. problems solved.

Find a fuck-load of sugar and carbonated water

Good luck :)

Kinda depend how much lemon Life gave you. If it's one, maybe make a glass of lemonade with sugary syrup and salted dried sour plum. Add the dried plum into 1/10 mug of hot water, stir for a few second, add in the lemon juice and some ice, then fill it up with water and you got a glass of refreshing lemonade.

If it's a few, maybe you can make lemon pound cake or lemon cheese cake instead.

The last time life gave me lemons, I gave them to someone starving on the streets.

Egyptians didn't have cranes, but that didn't stop them, they used what they had (alot of /slaves/ workers died but that's not the point), and made amaizing pyramid structures that stand tall to this day.

I mean, lemonade came from a dude who only had lemons on his farm (at least it's what I believe)

What ever life gave you, it has potential that might not have been discovered, yet. I mean, who'd thought a long-cross screw and nuts on either side could be used to lift a tonne of vehicle for a tyre change?

Use what you have to bring about what you love.

life gave you free lemons? #gifted. those shits are like $1 a pop in the grocery stores.

Give them to me.
