There's a new cocktail recipe that I want to try. One of the ingredients is fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Can I use the bottled juice instead?
You can - one tablespoon of bottled lemon juice is equal to the juice from half a medium-sized lemon. But...

It may not always be sunny in Philadelphia, but Saturday the 19th there was plenty of sun in Nashua. With his own line of limoncello to promote, Danny DeVito spent some time at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store in Nashua to sign autographs and take pictures for fans.
I may be the resident ‘beer guy’, but seeing how I am Italian, limoncello is within my jurisdiction. Limoncello is a lemon-flavored liqueur hailing from Sorrento, Italy.

Despite a little rain and some overcast conditions, Mel’s Funway Park was bustling with eager patrons attending the second Wicked Wine & Brew Fest. The event had been held last year in Hollis, and this year was changed to a more central location near Manchester. Either way, people were out in droves, and the goodness was flowing.
Aside from the obvious wine and beer, there were vendors from: Cozy Tea Cart (great tea), Tastefully Simple (with beer bread mix), Kettle to Keg (way better than Mr. Beer), The True Nut Company (awesome almonds) and other local vendors getting

Beer Spots 3: Revenge of the Spots
by J Frazzetta on August 26th, 2008 | Beer, ShoppingLike a stain that won’t come out of your favorite shirt: it’s Beer Spots. This is, obviously, part 3 in my series to enlighten folks about where to find good beer close to home. Sadly, this will be my last installment, until I find more spots that catch my taste buds. Let us now migrate to the Queen City herself, Manchvegas, more affectionately known as Manchester.
The North End Superette is located at the corner
More Beer Spots
by J Frazzetta on August 5th, 2008 | Beer, ShoppingBack, like a bad hangover, it’s Beer Spots! This is part two of my quest to find good stores to purchase quality beer and then share my findings with all of you. Trust me; the pasture is much greener outside of the supermarket. Let us move up from Massachusetts to my home territory of southern New Hampshire.
