Extraordinary, particularly for a first time. How can I tell if lemons are waxed? I would hate to ruin a good pie. Your superlative skill at cooking has inspired me. Recently I stopped failing at making mayonnaise, when I realized eggs straight from the refrigerator won't emulsify. You have to let them warm to room temperature.

It is such a great chasm between my rudimentary state and your incredible expertise!

Thanks!
