Inevitably when I go to the grocery store I buy both lemons and limes. They’re a staple (at least in my head) along with parsley, potatoes, and onions. Unfortunately the poor lemons seem to always get the short-end of the stick. While the limes find frequent homes in a sparkly glass of Hendricks Gin, lately [...]

Height. Volume. Luster. These are usually adjectives that we use to describe what we wish our hair looked like on a daily basis (see Blake Lively for a real life example) but in this instance I experienced all three of these lovely words in conjunction with a muffin and it appears I owe it all [...]

The Care and Feeding of Limoncello

April 9, 2008

I feel like I’ve suddenly acquired a lemon slice filled aquarium. Should I name the curly pieces of zest that float about in their sea of Absolut all day? Lucy? Lola? Is that you?!
Honestly I had no idea that making lemon flavored booze would illicit such a strong and varied response from [...]

The Limoncello Trilogy – Part 1

April 5, 2008

Thanks to a post on Bostonist and urging from my fellow Google Reader addicts I decided to test my hand at making Limoncello. Today I completed the first step in this 3 part recipe. Honestly I’m a little scared of Limoncello. We all know what happened to Danny Devito after having a [...]
