Prescott getaway

 

Enjoying a lil getaway with the hubby, actually he is sleeping while I'm having a lil early morning quiet moment to myself. I LOVE these kinds of moments. It's one of the sweet pleasures I look for at every chance I find or shall I say create!  There is a lil bird singing his heart out right over my shoulder, the cicada's are serenading me in the BIG tree that is providing me ample shade and I just had the most AMAZING pastry from THIS lil charming place right next store. Seriously, It must have just come outta the oven and I have never had filo dough and cherries that scrumptious!

And there Tibetan Chai!! If you ever come by this place ...Its a must have...holy goodness!!

We are staying in THIS adorable place as well, you really do feel like you've stepped back in time ohh & do yourself a favor...get a room with a claw foot tub.

Meyer Lemon lemonade and Limoncello

If you ever come across a basket of succulent meyer lemons...do yourself a favor and stock up!!

They are flowery, sweet and of course sour and make awesome lemonade that will make you love the long summer days!

How about some Limoncello!

Ingredients

10 Meyer lemons

1 (750-ml) bottle vodka

3 1/2 cups water

2 1/2 cups sugar

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.

Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
