Limoncello! That sweet, tart, and refreshingItalian after-dinner digestif can be a wonderful thing. But, typically, when you go for the store-bought stuff it’s cloyingly sweet, and doesn’t have any of that fresh zip to it. Here’s the good news: It’s simple to make at home and customize it to your own taste, giving you the perfect balance of sweet, sour boozeroo.

Every family has some dish that only they eat on Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s from the old world. Maybe it’s some amalgamation of mincemeat and lime flavored gelatin. For this week’s Shooting Challenge, I want you to share it—and the recipe.

As the name suggests, there are really only two components to a gin and tonic (unless you count the lime), which means only two ways to screw it up. It’s easy enough to avoid a bad gin.

If the PR is to be believed, French outfit UNOWHY (oh yes, really) has already taken its native Gaul by storm with its latest cuisine-focused tablet, dubbed QOOQ. (Actually, the 10.1-incher’s formal title is “la tablette QOOQ,” merci beaucoup!) And now the company’s ready to translate the kitchen-based tech for stateside tastes, shipping the splashproof tab with English menus and instructions for $399. Originally shown off at this past CES, the unique device packs a 1GHz dual-core processor, runs a custom OS atop the Linux kernel and comes with over 1,000 recipes from top chefs (no, not the Bravo kind) pre-installed. There’s also an optional subscription package for power users that’ll run about $9.90/mo or $99/year for access to additional interactive content and updates. You can learn more at the source below if you’re the culinary kind — though we’re willing to bet the far more frugal option is to download a cooking app and call it a day. The choice is yours.
