Lemon Drops for February 9, 2011

Lemon Drops

Happy Hump Day, everyone! Sometimes, it doesn’t take a whole story to get you in the mood, just a one-shot can do the trick. Here are some outstanding one shots to get you over that mid-week hump and rev you up for the weekend ahead. Hope you enjoy them!

A Winter in Chicago by FantasyMother

Edward has grown to adulthood as the only child of a farming family. Hoping to earn extra money, he travels to the city each day, ultimately finding more than he bargained for within one of the mansions of affluent Chicago. AU, B&E, explicit lemons.

Outstanding one shot!! Fantasy’s depth of character is one rarely found in a one shot and she throws in a nice little twist at the end.

Wings by In.a.blue.bathrobe

This was a one shot bought for the Support Stacie charity auction. It is hauntingly beautiful and I, sap that I am, cried like a fiend as I finished it. I am not going to tell you anymore than that, just give it a read. I am sure you will not be disappointed!!

Boys of Summer by Rochelle Allison

Bella's sixteenth birthday is made perfect by a kiss from a beautiful boy, but then she doesn't see him again for three years. Does he even remember her?

Surfers and secret kisses! How could I not be sold on this one? Someone rec’d this to a friend for a list she was compiling of Summer-themed fictions. Being the nosy h00ker I am, I snagged the link. My curiosity paid off once again!

In The Light of Day by TKegl

Cougar Revolution One-Shot Contest WINNER! Too many drinks lead

43-year old Bella Swan to an anonymous, one-night stand with a hot young

stranger. When her mystery man becomes her new boss, can she resist the

sizzling attraction drawing them together?

Alright, as a self-confessed cougar, I HAD to read this one and I am planning to dig up more from this contest in the near future!!! TKegl writes amazing one shots full of great descriptions and HAWT sex. This little story is no different! This little excerpt is enough reason to read:

“I refused to call it the Walk of Shame.

It was the Walk of I-Got-Three-Orgasms-Last-Night-Motherfuckers.”

Read it!! DOOO IIIITTTTT NNNNOOOOWWWW!!!!

Never Think by ilsuocantante

Winner of Love Through Lemons contest. When Bella thinks Edward is attracted to another woman, how can he show her she is all he wants? AH/OOC. Lemony goodness.

After Bella and Edward attend a business dinner, where Edward is ogled by the wife of the client., Bella is left feeling insecure and inadequate. Edward proceeds to show her, through a HAWT lovemaking session, exactly how desirable he finds her. This may require a shower afterwards.

So, there you go! A quintet of amazing fics to get you over your midweek slump! I’ll be back next week with another batch to keep you going! If you have any favorites, rec them to me here or on The Lemonade Stand Facebook group. I’ll be more than happy to check them out and pass them on! ‘Til next week~ Don’t forget, sometimes, all it takes is just one shot! SMOOCHES!

Fics turned Paperback and Beauty Products I adore

It's exciting when I hear that one of my favorite fics will be published. Even if I don't plan on ever doing a re-read of a favorite fic of mine I still would like to own a paperback or hardback copy of ALL of my favorite fics.  If you are interested in finding published fics you can click here  to find all the published fandom you need.

I have three beauty product recs tonight. 



MAC plushglass lipgloss in "Nice Buzz"

I cant say enough about this lip gloss. It makes a fantastic nude lip and goes great with a smoky eye or the natural look. It doesn't have a superb stay factor but the look, feel and hard to find color make this product well worth my $13 bucks. You can find it at any MAC counter.

Redken Blonde Glam Pure Pearl Conditioner

I've had a hard time getting my fingers through my hair, after shampooing, for the longest time now. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to run out of my favorite products and waste money on crap that claims to be amazing but just doesn't work. This Redken product is ideal if you're a blonde with medium to long hair. It only takes a nickel size spot to slide your fingers through after washing.  If you aren't a blonde, no fear, Biolage hydrating conditioner is remarkable and will give you the same silky results for around the same price of $18.00. 

Almay liquid eyeliner in black noir

This eyeliner is so amazing that I would put a guarantee on it myself.  If you prefer a dark, shiny, liquid eyeliner, that doesn't smudge and stays put from morning 'til night, then you've found your ideal product in Almay's black noir liquid eyeliner. For three years I have applied this product at 7:30 am and it stays put until I remove it before bed. I love it. Do yourself a favor and skip the $32.00 designer liquid liners and shell out a sweet $8.00 for this one at any Wal-mart, Target, CVS or Walgreens instead. It is superb.

Fic Friendly Recipe

Okay, so I read a really cool one shot yesterday that was submitted anonymously (rules) to the Dirty BJ Hoor Contest. It brought back so many memories of my youth and I couldn't help but remember the "tutor" that I was lucky enough to have when I was younger. Do yourself a favor and find out what it was like for Bella to give her first blow job in Guinea Pig

If you're like me, you have a husband and children to take care of on top of caring for a fic-addiction. Since I started reading fanfiction I don't like to spend alot of time cooking. I prefer quick, easy recipes. Therefore, I have decided to share a SUPER QUICK recipe that is sure to put some warmth in your fams bellies as well as get you back to your fics, guilt free.

In other news, I want to marry tumblr. That's all. G'night.


CHICKEN PARM QUESODILLAS with APPLE, WALNUT and SPINACH SALAD

1 warm rotisserie chicken - pulled from bone   
marinara sauce
large flour or wheat tortillas
shredded mozzarella cheese

SALAD
spinach or romaine (washed)
walnuts
sliced apples or pears
feta cheese
small bag of craisins (dried cranberries)
olive oil
raspberry balsamic vinegrette

lay a tortilla in a skillet over medium heat and sprinkle shredded mozz cheese all over, follow with pieces of rotisserie chicken (only put chicken on half) and spoon marinara sauce lightly over top. When the cheese is melted take a pizza cutter and cut straight through the center of the tortilla while  it is still in the pan and fold the quesodilla over.VOILA. dunzo.  Toss together a quick salad with Spinach, feta, apples, walnuts and craisins and sprinkle a little olive oil and raspberry balsamic vinegrette (just like balsamic just flavored) on top and you're good to go!

You can put any spin on quesodillas you want. They are so quick and easy and kids love them. As long as I put SOME KIND OF MEAT in my husband's he is happy. I make turkey and cheese queso's quite often and serve them with applesauce or grapes - super quick.
