Is this gorgeous? Gotta love Michael Chiarello and Napastyle for their excellent serving ideas. This carafe set is on my “Must get” list.
Speaking of Limoncello, the other day I bought my first bottle ofLimoncello, just because. I saw a couple cocktail recipes that I want to try and they sounded delicious. I knew it had a bit of za-za-zu as, well, we all heard about Danny Devito and George Clooney falling prey to its siren call.
As I was in my freezer this morning, that lovely bottle was just in front of my eyes begging to be in recipes other than just cocktails which sent me on a mission.
Courtesy of Epicurious, I’m adding this recipe to my arsenal for my next soiree. Enjoy!

Some friends are coming over on Friday and we're actually going to make out own limoncello. I can't wait to drink it…in two weeks.
I think Danny De Vito is most famous for his role as the Penquin.'-`
Danny De Vito is quite old now but he is still one of the great actors of Hollywood:~"
