Yes, they are wonderful.<br />Last night my cousin made a dinner feast, including a salad: Persian cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and fresh mint leaves, and for the dressing she just squeezed a lemon over everything~<br />It was so refreshing and bright.

For now it's resting patiently in the freezer. I'm thinking fish steamed in parchment with some of the butter.
