Use Italian Sodas in Your Cocktails

Limonata with Absolut Ruby Red and a sprig of mint. Been a favorite over here for a couple of years.

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

About once a month she tells me that she's found the most wonderful new recipe and she's going to send me home with a big batch for me and my honey. And it always turns out to be some slight variation on spicy chili mac. As she gets older this has become her big dish. So hey, bring on the chili mac, mom!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'

"True love will take you in new directions," which was subsequently graffitied to read "True love will take you in nude erections" and lived on our refrigerator door for years. Did it come true? Hey, this isn't that kind of website.

Anyone else keep a food diary?

I have one of those little Moleskine day-at-a-glances and I write down what we have for dinner every night. Nothing fancy, no recipes, but I list the full meal, even if it's takeout or at a restaurant (both of which are rarer than not).

Use Italian Sodas in Your Cocktails

Izze is good and so is "Dry" (with flavors like lemongrass, rhubarab and lavender). I really like combining the lavender soda with vanilla vodka for a really girly drink.

My friend turned me on to Limonata and Absolut pear vodka. Really tasty.

I'm waiting for Jones Soda to make their Lemon Drop Dead all year long...that stuff is addictive, and is unfortunately, unobtainium any time except Halloween. Great as a mixer!

@ sadiepix, belatedly -- I didn't want to reply and enter twice; We're not the only ones! brittj8585, Mizbee, and nekineki seem to agree with us about the whole ginger = garnish thing. :)
