Ode to Lemon Curd

Oh sweet, gooey deliciousness
How wonderful you are
Please be mine, you're truly divine
You're even good out of the jar.

What hole have I lived in that I have missed out on lemon curd my whole life? I know its essentially the same thing as the inner portion of a lemon meringue pie, but as mom always used pudding for that, I have missed out on real lemon curd. I love this stuff and I hate lemon meringue pie. Its creamy and gooey and lemony and sweet.

If you've been in a hole too, run (don't walk) to the closest gourmet market, Cost Plus, anywhere that might have it. Get your shortbread ready (or scones) and sail in. Be prepared to die a little bit, because it is so good.
