On the Rocks: The Lemon Drop.


The Lemon Drop is one of my personal favorites (the cocktail as well as the shot). There’s just something about that sweet-tart shock that gets me every time.

Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz vodka
– 3/4 oz lemon juice
– 1/2 oz Cointreau
– 1 teaspoon simple syrup (2:1)

Shake over ice, strain into sugar rimmed cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist. Serves one.

Ego’s Soup Tureen and Ladle.

I think I’ve made homemade soup a grand total of ONCE in my life. But if i owned this tureen and ladle I’d be more inclined to experiment!

…styled in bone china, safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher. Its shape helps to retain heat, and the specially designed ladle is help upright by a little dimple in the base of the tureen.

The Daily Eat: French Lemon Cream Tart.


I’m a Lemon Lover so long as they keep their pretty yellow selves away from my iced tea and water! Everything else is fair game. Enjoy Lemon Week!

Just the sight of this citrusy French Lemon Cream Tart has my mouth watering! The crazy thing is that this “cream” tart has no cream at all in it, but more than two sticks of butter instead.
