Gay: having or showing a merry, lively mood

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Last weekend Andrew and I stopped by the Pasadena Antique Mall on our way back from a movie. The mall is a pretty good spot for curiosities, but a little over priced. Over priced or not, I rarely can pass up old pattern books when I see them and this time was no exception. It's even better if they are so obviously dated.

Guest blog: Limoncello part I

Monday, October 20, 2008

Yesterday I started another batch of Limoncello. The recipe is from one of Debbie's craft books, "Get Crafty". Really, it's from a craft book. The first step is to mix the rind of a dozen lemons with Everclear, which is 151-proof grain alcohol. Everclear is nasty stuff, with more than 75% alcohol. There is actually a second variety, in 190-proof strength! Because of the way alcohol is distilled, that is evidently the maximum strength you can get. The 190-proof Everclear is illegal to sell in California, and even the 151-proof bottle has warnings not to drink it straight and is not available in some states and provinces.

The juice from the dozen lemons are in ice-cube trays in the freezer. In one month's time, the rind gets strained from the alcohol. The lemon ice cubes and some sugar syrup are added, and it sits for another month. Easy!
