I've never tried making it before but I think I'm going to give it a shot next week. Nothing new with the lighting situation. I still use a simple daylight balance bulb on a cord. Haven't invested in a diffuser either and I'll probably hold off until we move to a bigger apartment. @Ravenous: I LOVE LOVE LOVE larb!

I saw it there the other day. So weird. I think I would pass out by the second day if all I had was lemonade. The taste wasn't so terrible though... it would have been better on the rocks with a splash of vodka while I nibble away on some tapas though ;) When we go on "vacation" we always need a vacation afterwards cuz we're so wiped from all the activities. But it's so much fun! Except for the snakes in the rainforest part. I don't care how hot it is in the jungle...I'm wearing pants and a turtleneck! @Joy: Did you know that Whole Foods sells that lemonade mixture for the detox diet? I saw it there the other day.
