lemon curd newbie

Pretty much ever since we moved to Oregon we've had our friend Brian over for dinner every Tuesday night. I really love to entertain, and having Brian is no-pressure, just hanging out and having a good time. I try and have something yummy for dessert whether it be some box brownies (which I personally think are better than home made), or ice cream, or warm cookies, etc. Last night I looked in my cupboard and I had a white cake box mix and I thought "well, that's easy enough but needs a little something." I decided I'd make some lemon curd to go in the middle and then just put some white whipped can frosting on top -YUM. Well, I started in on the lemon curd w/out reading thru the instructions...I was in too deep to turn back but when it said to bust out the Cuisinart I thought maybe I had been a little over zealous on just throwing something together for our dessert. Sigh. Anyway, to make a not- so- interesting story short, I made it, it was delish and when I have more time on my hands (rather than a few minutes before Brian walks in the door) I will happily make it again. :)

here is a not-so-appetizing photo on my tupperware cake carrier after we devoured it. :)

Here's to easy tasty desserts! xo
