It's cute, but I don't have a place to put it in my kitchen. I think that means I have too much stuff.

G&T's are my favorite. Now I have to try it with the elderflower liqueur. Mmm.

I love this idea. I think this would work much better than overhead cabinets, especially with heavier dishes like stoneware.

My husband and I just made gin a couple weeks ago. We didn't have the kit, just bought the spices individually (so now we can make gin several more times). It's pretty good, though I think a second straining would improve it. I like the bottles in the kit though.

I was going to make snow ice cream after our last snow here, but I didn't think of it until the snow had been on the ground for a day or so. Though it still looked clean and untouched, I decided against it. Wish I had thought of it right after it snowed.

Definitely worth making. The commercial kind we can get here is too sweet and contains HFCS, which I try to avoid at all costs.

I brought in my pots of rosemary, sage, and basil (and a little parsley) from outside for the winter. I wish I had some thyme too. I'm pretty sure the rosemary will make it through the winter because I have done it before, but I don't know about the others. Fresh herbs in the store are about $4 here. I wish I could find a deal like this.

I've tried different herbs indoors, and the only one that has lasted through the winter is rosemary. Which reminds me, I have a pot of rosemary outside that I need to bring in before it freezes.

I always use black cocoa in my baked goods. I use about 1/2 and 1/2 with regular or dutched cocoa. I love the flavor and it makes chocolate cake and brownies look really chocolatey.

Our local farmer's market has bee pollen, but I haven't tried it. I will have to get some this summer.
