On life and lemons…

“When life gives you lemons make lemonade”

Or so says the famous proverb …

Between you and I, I hate lemonade! It’s sickly sweet and reminds me of a home remedy I used to have when I had a cold. It gets a lot worse when served hot and sweetened with honey instead of sugar.

Back to the memes, which I can’t have enough of, I’ve found many memes about life giving you lemons:

“When life gives you lemons, throw them at someone”

Or its polar opposite:

“When life gives you lemons, keep them because … hey, free lemons!”

Some show their “ethylic” inspiration:

“When life gives you lemons, grab tequila and salt”

“When life gives you lemons, make margaritas”

But I haven’t found this one yet. My most sincere thanks to my BodyBalance mate Chris for suggesting this highly creative alternative 🙂

In case you were wondering, I can make lemoncello (or limoncello). Either way, cheers / salud / santé or whatever you say in your own language.

Nuff said: When life gives you lemons, make lemoncello.
