Weekly Overview (Week starting on April 11)

Even big, bad, bold you needs a little support now and then -- like at the beginning of this week. Since you’re usually so self-sufficient, you might have to ask. By Wednesday and Thursday, though, the stars send bountiful super energy right to you, and you’re probably ready to make a daring move (at work? In the love department? Maybe both?). Go for it! If you’re staying up late or partying on Friday and Saturday, be sure to make up for it with some healthy stuff, too. And on Sunday, use a little charm to get your desire.

They’re around all year long, albeit in the dark recesses of the candy aisle where I never (OK, seldom) venture, yet I barely give them a thought. Then comes the morn-ing after Valentine’s Day, and there they are — bags and bags of these tiny little confections on display everywhere — and I am in trouble. Oh sure. After a few thousand I do get kind of sick of them, but until I’ve eaten that few thousand, I can’t get enough. Maybe it’s fond memories of waking up Easter morning to a house full of them, just waiting to be gathered up into ribboned baskets by sticky little hands. Or maybe it’s the fact that they are pure sugar and thus flawless in their complete lack of even one nutritionally redeeming quality. But it doesn’t matter. It has become quite appar-ent that jelly beans are destined to remain an integral part of my life — and my thighs — forever.

My dad recently got his first smart phone, primarily so he can check his email any time he wants. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize he could use the same email account for both his phone and computer, and made up a new one just for the phone. So far, the only thing he uses it for is to email his friends his responses to their texts. Lo L

It’s time to put away the Scotch and Bourbon and lighten up with a fresh Spring cocktail made from Italy’s famous lemon liqueur!

Bucca Di LimoneLimoncello

Experience the fragrant essence of the Almalfi Coast! The intensely fragrant peels are steeped in the finest Italian spirit and sugar, crafting a Limoncello

with fresh and pure flavors. Try a chilled glass

after dinner.

Made from lemons sourced from Italy’s Amalfi Coast, which have very few seeds,

minimizing the bitterness, while the pulp is so rich with flavor. The lemons are

fermented and steeped in a mixture of sugar and alcohol for at least 20 days.

Serve chilled before a meal or as a light, refreshing after dinner beverage.
