I'm going to spend the weekend at a girlfriend's beach house. To thank her for hosting me, I want to give her a new cookbook. Technically she's a pescaterian, but I think she would benefit from a book that focuses on vegetarian cuisine.

Inspired by articles in the current issues of Everyday Food and Everyday With Rachael Ray — both feature homemade ice cream — I've decided it's time to get an ice cream maker.

With the weather warming up, I've turned my attention to alfresco entertaining. Last weekend, I suggested my guests and I grab our cocktails and appetizers and head out to the patio. There was a lot to carry and on my third trip back to the kitchen, I couldn't help but wonder why I don't own a stylish serving tray?

Cinco de Mayo is manana and I plan on celebrating by whipping up a batch of margaritas for my girlfriends.
