Lemon pie is my favorite in the summer! And this milkshake sounds incredible, I mean lemon curd in there? I could eat that by the spoonful! And I love your messy kitchen photos. I feel like I’m not the only one in the world that makes photography/food experimenting messes 🙂 And even still, mine are way worse!
Girl, sometime you should see what my house looks like after a shoot. And if I’m doing it for more than one recipe? It might look like that for days because after 3 shoots + all that goes with, cleaning up and putting away is not my strong suit!
