Hi, Maria. A batch of these lemon squares with your very own lemons and rosemary?! That sounds just wonderful. And I think the Meyer lemons will pair beautifully with the rosemary. Enjoy!

These sound just incredibly delicious! I've ha...

These sound just incredibly delicious! I've had sensational Meyer lemons this year and rosemary is still blooming despite the cool winter weather we've had in Sydney. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi, Denise! I hope you'll enjoy it. Thank yo...

Hi, Denise! I hope you'll enjoy it.

Thank you so much, Jen. That means a lot.

You're very welcome, Geraldine. Molly's wonderful. It makes me happy to know that you found her through Sweet Amandine. (And thank you for the kind wishes!)

Thank you, Martha. I bet Molly would love nothing more than to hand deliver a copy of her book to your doorstep in Italy! (Of course, there is that teensy weensy detail of airfare...) To answer your questions about what I'm up to beyond the blog: I'm working on a PhD in Yiddish and Hebrew literature, and I'm currently in the dissertation writing stage. I also teach undergraduate literature courses at my university.

Hello, Jess. Always nice to meet another Massachusetts blogger! I think Molly has some other readings in the New England area over the next week or two. You can check out her blog for more information.

Lecia, oh! I wish we could sit down and discuss it together. Preferably over a couple of your cinnamon buns. (Talk about something that I've been thinking about for a long time...) xo!

Thank you for this great introduction to Molly and...

Thank you for this great introduction to Molly and her book. I bought it last week after I read your post and was completely drawn in. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time.

On a separate note, I will also make these lemon bars! One of my favorite desserts.

Hope you and baby are well. xoxo (Eli too, of course.)

I wish I had seen this last week. I have never heard of Molly, her blog, or book. I look forward to reading it soon!

So glad to hear your wonderful news. I will be trying to read Molly's book somehow, probably hard here in Italy. Do you think she would like to visit and bring a copy? For those of us who don't know what is your progress on your degree and what is it in? Are you working in that field? Like many others I look forward to your posts.

I'm reading this fascinating and engaging book at the moment. I found Molly's blog through yours - so many thanks for that, Jess! It was lovely to hear your wonderful news, you have so much joy ahead of you. Stay happy & healthy!

What a beautiful post! I must say that Molly and YOU both have blogs that I go to for more than just the food but also for the words.

It looks like a really interesting book. I've requested it from my library. Enjoy Molly's reading.

Molly - Thanks, friend, and see you tomorrow! I can't wait.

Thanks, Sally. I actually wasn't sure at first how I was going to feel about rosemary in my lemon squares. Now I know that how I feel about it is GOOD. Melissa Clark knows what she's talking about.

That's so funny, Tracy! I think the universe must be telling you to buy Molly's book and make these lemon squares. (Obviously, right?)

You are too kind, Linda. Thank you so much. The pleasure is all mine! I am indeed very, very lucky to have Molly in my life. (And yes, I'm feeling great!)

Hey, Mom! Your garden! I can't believe I'm going to miss seeing it this year. I'm so happy that Molly's book arrived and that you're enjoying it. Wish you could be with us here tomorrow night.

I've just started reading Molly's book and...

I've just started reading Molly's book and I am drinking in her beautiful words. My very wet Ohio garden is teeming with rosemary. I love picking it because the smell lingers on my hands. Each time I go hunting in the garden to see what's sprouting I have to pick at least a few sprigs to leave on the kitchen counter to enjoy the scent. Recommendations for rosemary recipes are much appreciated. Congratulations to Molly. Happy celebrating.

I just stumbled upon Molly's blog for the first time today. And I've thought about lemons at least four times today already. Talk about synchronicity.

Lovely post, as always. I read about the book, an...

Lovely post, as always. I read about the book, and it sounds amazing - wish that I could go tonight...

And the lemon/rosemary combination sounds irresistable - I'll have to think of a good reason to make it...

You are so incredibly sweet, Jess. And quite an inspiration yourself! I don't know what I'd do without you, your lovely writing, and your delicious cooking here in Cambridge. Lemon bars for everyone, indeed! xoxo
