Lemon Curd: My way back to basic

It's almost 12 years since I started my blog in 2007, at that time I never known that there are so many things waiting for me.


A lot of friends that I met from social network (some of them became my best friends now), a lot of opportunities and yes, a lot of happiness too.
From the first blog that had only one photo (of whatever I made, because my camera couldn't keep the battery, haha, it would turn off after taking only 1 shot), to a blog with photos and video too. I still have a lot to learn and a load of recipes to make ^^.
But lately, I felt that I miss something, and you can call it inspiration !!!!! 
Finally I started to realize that what I miss most is taking photo of "how to". It's fun to set a prop, and taking photo of whatever (or any step) that I want. So this blog is my way back to my basic self, a blog with simple words, load of photos and my own happiness. 
For video fans, don't worry, I won't stop making video, I might have a blog without it from time to time, but you will get beautiful how to photo instead, hehe.

And now, about today recipe, this tangy sweet curd is what I always long for. Well, I love lemon, both its taste and fragrance, I never have enough of it. So, the best way to turn it into something that you can eat it any times is making lemon curd. 
It's very easy to make, and you can use it in many recipes, or just spread it over a slice of bread or biscuit. I turn some of my curd into quick lemon meringue pie in less than 10 minutes. 
You can adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste, but don't reduce too much because it will be more delicious when you have both tangy and sweet taste in the curd.
