to convince autocorrect that I really meant to type "crema" and not cream

I have the preserved lemons already; just need to get the crème fraîche ingredients when we shop tomorrow

 

I made the homemade crème fraîche described in the recipe but after doing so, I think I could just as well have used some of the Mexican crema I had on hand in the fridge.  

One nice thing about that recipe was how easy it was to make a smaller volume:  1/4 c crème fraîche, 1T lemon juice, 1T oil, scant 1T minced preserved lemon, S&P, all into a little jar and shake.  Easy peasy.
