Fresh Lemon Mousse

I'm in the middle of making a Lemon Mousse. The recipe is from The Food Network's The Barefoot Contessa.  It's my first time making it, so I'm praying that it turns out right, since I'm planning to bring it to a 7:00 dinner tonight with Emily and Joe. I find the process of trying new recipes for other people exhilarating--both exciting and stressful. I love it! It reminds me of President Uchtdorf's talk from the October 2008 General Conference entitled, "Happiness, Your Heritage." He spoke of our heritage as children of a "God of creation" and our resultant need to be involved in the work of creation. He spoke of many types of creation, creation of both the tangible and the intangible. It seems to me that the intangible creative works are the most important, the most pervasive, and the most lasting. But that doesn't stop me from having fun in the kitchen--my favorite medium for tangible creation.

I'll post pictures and a review when I'm done.
