The raspberry sprouts have graduated to full grown vines. Hopefully, they’ll survive the winter. Currently all of the raspberry and black berry bushes are still alive. Optimistically, the Dwarf Elberta peach looks about half alive. The Bonfire peach is on its last legs. And, the Kadota fig tree is a […]
If you’d like to make a version of Thai iced tea without Number One Brand tea or Pantai tea (that’s the one with the yellow and blue label), it’s quite easy. It just won’t have the questionable food coloring. And, in my book, that’s a plus not a minus.
The apricot was the first sign of life with its small white blossoms. The white princess and dwarf elberta quickly followed. While the white princess appears to be thriving, the dwarf elberta appears to have suffered greatly from this long, cold winter. Most of the bottom branches look withered and […]
Happy New Year!! The red tree (above) has finally been packed away for another year. And, the gold bell wreath has been packed away, too. The second will be gone tomorrow. It might seem lazy for our trees to stay up this long. But, there’s a tradition in […]

Cool nights mean one thing in our house. It’s time for hot chocolate! Mexican chocolate has a grainy texture that’s rich with sugar. So much sugar, in fact, that there is no need to add additional sugar. Mexican Hot Chocolate makes about 1 cup of hot chocolate mix […]
Inspired by a cocktail at STG Trattoria, we threw this together with one orange, one bottle of chinotto, and two ounces of Cynar. Super easy, super craveable. If you’re looking for something a little less bitter, substitute the Pellegrino (mildly) bitter orange soda for the chinotto. This makes […]
Lazzaroni Amaretto is made by infusing the liqueur with Amaretti Di Saronna cookies. If you haven’t tried these, they’re lovely and almondy… and SWEET! They’re like little almond sugar bombs. The flavor is divine. But, after one or two you feel a bit like a kindergartner after a sugar binge. […]
For a savory food weekend brunch, you might want a small pitcher of home-made Bloody Mary Mix to keep your party going. Adding a couple shots of vodka to the bloody mary mix brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes within minutes. This is lovely as it is. Just add […]
Sure, you can make a pot of coffee. I love a good cup. But, there are so many other choices. Most of them start with a shot or two of espresso.
