The New York Times Has A Lemony Problem

I believe recipes should be titled in a way that normal people speak and not in a way that embarrasses you to say out loud. If someone asks me what I’m making for dinner, there’s no way I’m responding “lemony skillet chicken with brioche”. I will find a different way to describe that dish. The New York Times cooking section has 63 recipes and one article with the word “lemony” in it. This, in my opinion, is too many. We already have the words “with” and “lemon”. And in the one article, Our 17 Most Lemony Recipes, none of the recipes have the word lemony in it! They’re all normal-titled lemon recipes! They had 63 lemony options to choose from!
