Sorry for the lengthy absence, I have been gallivanting around Alaska with the family. In my absence, Biggie from Lunch in a Box posted a coupon for Reusablebags.com, one of my favorite stores for environmentally sensitive materials including Laptop Lunchboxes and many different styles of reusable shopping bags.

I love roasted chicken, especially with lemon and salt. It is my favorite, hot from the oven. Sometimes, I will cook two at a time, just for leftovers. I have also been known to sneak bites in the kitchen before bringing the serving plate to the table.

Today I am making jam. I like canning - it is like baking, requiring a certain amount of attention to detail, but like cooking, allows for a bit of experimentation.

Tonight was a swim meet for the kids, and since the host team did not have a snack bar, I knew I would need to pack our dinner to go. My two swim hard and eat lots, so I packed a nice healthy (well, sort of!) picnic dinner.

Today, I was fortunate enough to join a group of food bloggers from BlogHer, along with other Northern California food bloggers for a meet-up at the Hotel Vitale in San Francisco. While enjoying the Sunday brunch menu at the in-hotel Americano restaurant, I had the chance to hob-nob with very interesting local and out-of-state food bloggers. Naturally, I took the opportunity to ask about their favorite kitchen gadgets!

I was e-chatting with my new friend Button Willow the other day (she has designed some great stickers, BTW), and we got to talking about Limoncello. This Italian liqueur is my new favorite activity, as it is easy and fun to make, plus makes a great impression. Here, I share with you two recipes for Limoncello, one that began as a recipe from Sunset Magazine. Since it takes 80 days to make, start sometime this summer and you will have gifts in place for the holidays!

Remember on Sunday, when I told you about the big box o’organic strawberries from CostCo? Well, turns out, if you don’t eat them quickly, they kind of turn to mush. So, we are racing against time, and tonight’s recipe is just one way I am using them:
