Could not agree more. I intensely dislike those tiny key limes. The Persian limes that we're used to buying at the supermarket are much better....in any recipe. Mmmmm....that sounds like a lime recipe cue...remember these on a FReeper recipe thread.

Those tea cookies look great! I’ll have to try that recipe.

I’m making key lime cupcakes tomorrow for a get-together.

Key limes do grow a bit bigger than those tiny things usually found in stores. I was used to getting them from my grandfather’s prized tree.
