    Making Limoncello

    Today I made 18 lemons and two bottles of vodka into Limoncello. Not quite Limoncello because the very complicated internet recipe I found requires filtering and doesn't use vodka, because apparently it affects the taste. But I am going to try it and see -  and bought this new microplane grater for the purpose.

    Got flu? Reach for the Green Chartreuse...

    Don't risk the overcrowded surgery, try this secret remedy. A measure of green chartreuse well diluted with hot water and sipped over half an hour. Recommended to me by Ruth who was advised by the qualified practitioners at Peatlings in Bury. The French liquer has been made by Carthusian monks since the 1700's and contains 132 different herbs, but don't bother looking for it in a supermarket, go to the wine doctor.
