Slice of Life

It's 6:30 am. Baby is still sleeping, Jon's alarm didn't go off so he ran to work "late" at 6, I am awake watching HLN and drinking coffee. Baby was a real sweety last night, after some fussiness upon bedtime he fell asleep by 9p. He didn't need me until 3! What?! And he's still cribbed and just beginning to chatter.

In recipe project news: Grilled Veggies, corn and...

limoncello cake! 

Okay, the grilled veggies didn't require a new recipe, but the cake did. 

When I did my solo 3 week tour of England and Italy (2005, right after my spring semester in Finland ended) I stayed with my sweet friend Nadia in her town outside of Milan. We went to a bar where her father played drums in a band, ate large flat pizzas and drank limoncello. It's a whiff of strong lemon that's for sure. 

 

It was a success! I was in a nostalgic mindset and pulled out my Finnish coffee mugs which I had sent to my parents. What a nice walk down memory lane while baking :)
