around in our local grocery all I find is Lemon
Extract in the spice section. That's not the same
is it?

Hm. In my experience, lemon oil (and other flavored oils) is used for
candy making and the like. To add further potential confusion, lemon
oil for candy making is *not* the same thing as lemon essential oil
(which, as a general rule of thumb for the newbie aromatherapist,
should not be taken internally). If you have a shop nearby which
carries specialty baking/candy making supplies, check there.

Perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong section. I could of course buy
a few lemons and use them but from what I can see it's available
bottles.

Lemon oil? When I make fish I squeeze fresh lemon JUICE on it; not an
extract. I've never heard of lemon oil on fish!?!

I keep a variety of oils on hand, including lemon, that I use in cooking,
baking, and pickling. I have a local pharmacist order them. I usually
have orange, lemon, cinnamon, clove, peppermint, almond, and anise.

What the heck are you doing with clove oil?

I'm glad someone besides me is still up. 🙂

I'm still up for a bit; but I'm laying down 'cause I'm falling asleep at
this darn machine. I need to ask the group a question.

That reminds me: Does anyone here know what "cucumber essence" is, and how
to obtain it in an edible form? I ran across some interesting drink recipes
which call for it, and when I go looking for it, it only shows up in
cosmetic formulations.

Okay, it's a classic Dustin Hoffman film. Hoffman plays a marathon runner
with a brother in the CIA. He falls into the hands of a former Nazi and
dentist, who tortures him by drilling holes in his teeth, all the while
asking, "Is it safe?"

Naturally, Hoffman has no idea what the dentist is talking about, so the
torture continues.

Where does clove oil fit into it? The dentist applies clove oil to Hoffman's
teeth to ease the pain of the torture -- the better to start it back up
again.

hmmmm... IMHO it's better to use a squeeze of FRESH lemon juice after
the fish has cooked.

When I bake fish, I do like to slice whole lemons thin and lay the
slices over the fish.

I also like to add fresh or dried dill, and a little salt free lemon
pepper....

That sounds horrible! I'm glad I haven't seen it. I accidentally watched
"The Dentist" with Corbin Bernsen. I kept watching ... waiting for it to
get better. But it never did. Horrible, horrible movie. Horrible.

The reason I asked Wayne what he was doing with clove oil is that he has
posted that he used to have toothaches as a child, and the school nurse
would make him sit with clove oil on them.

Sheesh, we live in a cruel world!

<grins> Actually, I've about had it... :-)
Eyes are closing, and my project is to clean up greenhouses #1 and #2
tomorrow and go see what Lowe's has for bedding plants!

Might pre-start my beans in pots too. I really don't dare put stuff in
the ground until April 1, but at least I can give it a head start!

I confess, I was watching a DVD on the computer.

"Flesh Gordon". A hilarious film! Rated "R" by today's standards.
A real classic!

Clove oil is an excellent cure for toothache.

April 1? Where do you live? We can't safely plant stuff here until at
least mid-May.

I make a candied sweet pickle that calls for a few drops each of clove and
cinnamon oils. Whole cloves and cinnamon bark can make the pickling syrup
bitter after a while; the oil does not.
