Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

my "chicken story" is about my favorite hen "Red." She used to ride on a shoulder as any of my family walked out to the garden or orchards when I was a child. She also would occasionally ride on bicycle handlebars.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
