This is a recipe I created in an effort to duplicate my favorite lemonade from a cafe in downtown L.A. called, well, 'Lemonade'. I don't like it too sweet, so if you want to add more sugar, cool. But I think that this recipe is perfect. It also makes a great martini served in a sugar-rimmed glass with a garnish of watermelon wedge and a twist of lemon! Simply fabulous!

This Chinese soup of pork meat balls and winter melon is very warming. I love to make this during the winter months when it's chilly outside. 

Casa Marina

Submitted by: Little Miss Perfect 
This is a delicious cocktail which tastes just like summer in a glass! Its also pretty lethal because it tastes so innocently alcohol free! You can make up a big bowl of it by just chucking a bottle of each spirit and a carton of each juice into a punch bowl. Adding a bottle of sparkling wine gives it some fizz -- and an extra kick!
