ife giving you lemons? Mak-
ing lemonade is so old hat. A
sunshiny spritz can find its
refreshing way into all sorts
of summer foods and drinks,
says Yvette van Boven, author
of Home Made Summer
(Stewart Tabori & Chang, $35), a book that
celebrates the season. Her love of summer
food (and our love of her delicate lemon cook-
ies) proved just enough inspiration for us to
make a leap into nostalgic, frosty summer fun.
Wait until your guests get a loadof where your
lemons are going. Bill Daley

LEMON
ZEST!
Lemonthinice creamsandwiches
We adapted van Bovens elegantly thin crisps into the
ultimate ice cream sandwich by pairing them with pine-
apple and coconut ice cream from the supermarket.
1 Heat oven to 400 degrees. Beat 2 eggs, cup plus
2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a
medium bowl for 5 minutes or until foamy. Beat in the
grated zest of 1 lemon.
2 In a separate bowl, beat 6 tablespoons softened
butter until light and airy. Stir the butter and cup
our into the egg mixture in small batches, alternating
between the two. Stir in a tiny pinch of salt.
3 Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop batter in 2-tablespoon mounds onto the baking
sheet at least 2 inches apart.
4 Bake until the edges begin to brown, about 7 to 9
minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few
minutes: transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
5Allow ice cream to soften slightly, thawing for about
5 minutes. Top a cookie with a -inch-thick layer of ice
cream, then top with another cookie, pressing gently.

WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT CITY BEES?
Chicagos a great place for beekeeping its
almost the nest honey youll ever taste. He
credits the quantity and variety of plants from
owers and shrubs to trees and even weeds. Lin-
den trees and sweet clover overlap in their ower-
ing time and they are very prevalent in Chicago.
Move over chickens. Bees are the new urban livestock. And Michael
Thompson, director of the Chicago Honey Co-op, has been herd-
ing honey bees amid our citys skyscrapers for 40 years. Hes seen
beehives placed in gangways, on rooftops and in a parking lot. We
talked to him about the growing interest in urban beekeeping.
FARM FANCY
Urban beekeeper
Michael Thompson,

of the Chicago
Cultural Center.
Williams-Sonoma
has gone whole-hog
for the farming trend
with its new Agrar-
ian line of equip-
ment for everything
from growing herbs
to raising chickens.
The company didnt
forget the bees,
offering a handsome
hive and starter kit
(above, $499) to get
your new hobby off
the ground.
williams-sonoma.
com/agrarian
They are two of the nest plants [for producing
honey] in the world. Yum.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO GET STARTED?
For one beehive and the bees, its about $700,
but some of the equipment like the protective
gear and the tools youll have your whole life.
For another $350 or so, you can add a second
hive. Youll need a 10-foot-square space to work
around the hive.
WILL I GET MORE THAN A PINT FOR
MY 700 BUCKS?
You can harvest 40 to 50 pounds of honey by
July and theres no stopping it. But forget about
going out of town for a week or two during sum-
mer. Or, its bye-bye bees.
DO YOU GET STUNG?
I get stung about once a week average in sum-
mer. It always hurts and I dont like it.
HOW HARD IS BEEKEEPING?
Its not for everybody. Its physically hard and
you have to pay attention. Youre out in the hot
sun lifting heavy objects. You get dirty and sweaty
and all the work happens in the sun, not when
its cloudy or at dusk. If it doesnt sound appeal-
ing, you can order locally produced honey, or nd
Chicago Honey Co-op at city farmers markets.
I try to encourage people to try Chicago honey
because its unbelievably delicious and Ive tasted
honey from all over the world. Taste for yourself.

THE BIG FINISH
As running events go, few set them-
selves apart like the Soldier Field 10 Mile.
The 10th-anniversary course makes its
way along the lakefront and then nishes,
spectacularly, on the 50-yard line of Soldier
Field, with Jumbotrons ashing and crowds
cheering.

When it comes to triathlons, the Chicago

Wisconsin state line with an unintimidating
swim in warm, shallow Lake Andrea.

TAKE A CHALLENGE
s you brace for Chicagos onslaught of summer music festivals, save
roomfor a newaddition: the Great GoogaMooga. Organized by Super-
fly Presents, the company behind the Bonnaroo and Outside Lands
festivals, Googa Mooga focuses on food. At last years debut festival in
Brooklyn, the culinary talent was as highly anticipated as the music.
People are looking at food as entertainment and on par with any other
major passion, said Supery co-founder Rick Farman. Details of the
Chicago festival were unconrmed at press time, though rumors swirled
about uber-chefs by the lakeshore. To make the most of your summer
fest-ing, Farman offered his insider tips.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY Duh, we know, but too often people get caught without a poncho or sweater when
the weather turns, so check the forecast. Wear broken-in boots or comfy sneakers to survive the dust and the
hours on your feet this is not the time for a new pair of sandals. Camelbak backpacks, which pipe water into
your mouth, arent glam but are an especially handy festival tool, Farman said.
GET THE INSIDE SCOOP Visit fan sites to learn inside info on how to enjoy the festival, from the best food to
the best bathrooms. Lollapalooza fans can nd an array of topic threads at theboard.lollapalooza.com.
DONT OVER-PLAN Too much planning takes away from the discovery of what a festival is supposed to be
about, Farman said. Whether its stumbling onto a random stage, or meeting a new person, you should be
going with the thought that everything there is something I want to check out. Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz
PITCHFORK
THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE ALTERNATIVE
Every summer in Chicago, a fork appears in the music festival season. I have chosen the Pitchfork
Music Festival (July 19-21), and that has made all the difference.
Pitchfork, to put it plainly, is a taste of what Lollapalooza will look like a year later: When the lineup is
announced, I recognize maybe a half dozen performers (out of about 50), and every summer my curios-
ity is rewarded. (My music-buying spikes in late July now. Go gure.) Off-stage, that curiosity continues:
Theres Flatstock, the festivals long-running poster fair and its whos who of regional graphic designers,
from the graceful abstracts of Sonnenzimmer, to the appropriated nostalgia of Steve Walters Screwball
Press, and more including Silent Giants and Lil Tuffy (shown at left.) Theres the watermelon cups from
Wishbone, the way people stretch out at the edge of Union Park. Then theres walking along Randolph on
a late summer night, exhausted and full of seitan. Chris Borrelli
LOLLAPALOOZA
LISTEN FOR THE UNDERDOGS
With more than 100 acts performing in
Grant Park Aug. 2-4, there will be no
shortage of choices. Few of the bigger acts
need an introduction, but the essence of
any festival is its undercard. Which up-and-
comers are worth checking out?
ANGEL HAZE Detroit MC Raykeea Wilson
is one of hip-hops freshest and most
poetic new voices.
FLUX PAVILION Joshua Steele blends live
instrumentation with a sound steeped in
electronic dance music.
GHOST B.C. Sweden has a well-deserved
reputation for producing top-notch metal
bands, and Ghost B.C. adds its own twist
to the tradition with heavy riffs, catchy
melodies and theatrical stage presentation.
THE ORWELLS Five Chicago teens inject
their garage-rock racket with soul and
hooks.
PALMA VIOLETS The quartets raucous
live show is already all the rage in England,
and the undeniable Best of Friends is
destined to become a festival sing-along.

EAT YOUR ADVENTURE
GREEN AND GOOD FOR YOU
Chow down with some of Chicagos
top chefs at the annual Green City
Market Chefs BBQ benet. The event
will feature samples from around 100
area restaurants using market produce
and products, along with local beer, wine,
hand-crafted cocktails and non alcoholic
drinks.

A LOW-KEY FOODIE FAVORITE
Ride your bike (or take the blue line)
to the Maxwell Street Market to get your
ll of authentic Mexican and Salvadoran
food, for cheap. Sure, the shopping is not
so great (unless you really need socks) but
the avors make up for it. Choose from
endless huaraches, tacos or pupusas and
enjoy in a shady tent surrounded by local
families and foodies. Repeat until full.
Sundays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; 800 S Des
Plaines St.
BEST OF THE MARKETS
Many Chicago neighborhoods host
thriving farmers markets, but none is as
diverse and diverting as the Logan Square
Farmers Market. Besides a large collec-
tion of farmers, youll nd gifts (hand-
made soaps, jams, nuts); cream puffs,
donuts and baguettes; craft-distilled spirits
and farmstead cheeses to sample. Just
spread a blanket and make a day of it.

p.m.; 3111 W. Logan Blvd.;

DINNER ON THE FARM
How you gonna keep them down on

Van Camp, the Danville native behind
Chicagos Old Town Social and Nellcote.

Go hard Whatever youre going to freeze, know that the higher the sugar content, the softer
the freeze.A slushy cube just wont do. Schoettler typically dilutes juice with water by half before
freezing into ice.
AddspiceAny spice you like can avor water and become an ice cube. Schoettler suggests cin-
namon, ginger, even spicy chiles avor the water to taste, then freeze.
Consider avors Choose a avor for your ice that will complement the drink its going into.
One simple formula: Pick an ingredient that will turn a simple drink into a more complex cocktail
once it melts. Avodka lemonade, for example, can become aJohn Daly with the addition of an iced
tea ice cube.
Shape up The geometry of ice matters. Crushed ice or cubes from the ice maker are to be
avoided, says Schoettler.Youwant at least a1-inchcube, made inasilicone mold, toserve or shake
on.Cubes work for any drink in a rocks glass and are especially good for shaking anything with egg
whites in it, because they help to agitate the ingredients. For a stirred cocktail, try a larger piece
of ice. And for anything carbonated, you want a single large shard multiple ice cubes break up
carbonation, causing your drink to go at. Cindy Dampier
FROZENASSETS
I
ce,says Craig Schoettler, is the cornerstone of a drink.
Hes not kidding the Drumbar beverage director and Aviary veteran has earned
his culinary mixology chops making frozen water into something ... more.
If you were going to make soup, he says, you wouldnt use water as your base,
youd use chickenstock. Its the same withice its going to be inyour cocktail, so what
if that ice also added a avor? Anything thats water-based can be frozen.
Acting onthat bit of bartending wisdom, Schoettler constructs cocktails that start as
one thing (say, a vodka soda) yet morph into another (say, a vodka cranberry lemonade)
as the ice melts. And its a tactic that can make you look like a party-giving savant this
summer. Schoettler shares all you need to know to try this at home and a few insider tips for dealing
with the cold stuff.

THREE KIDS, THREE MORTGAGES, ONE BIG STEP
WHO SAYS ITS NOT A SUMMER OF LOVE?
B Y HE I DI S T E V E NS
TAKING
THE PLUNGE
But I do wonder, frequently, whether I took
enough risks creatively, emotionally, liv-
ing arrangement-ly when the stakes were
relatively low. No kids. No mortgage. No insur-
ance premiums. What was I afraid of ? Failing, I
suppose. Failing to land a job. Failing to land a
spouse. Failing to impress my parents.
But with the benet of hindsight, I see that I
was actually afraid of succeeding.
Succeeding at (and liking) something that
didnt follow a conventional trajectory or check
off a culturally acceptable box. Something that
would force me to pause and possibly, gulp,
switch paths.
Now that I realize adulthood is actually a
whole series of paths that you hop on and off
(jobs end, goals morph, marriages go poof), Im
a big ol fan of risks. Im late to the party and
nobodys smoking, but here I am. Ready to be
risky.
So I bought a house. This is what risky looks
like at 38.
I bought it with the man I adore and well
live in it with the kids we love and it makes per-
fect sense and, also, no sense. He has a house. I
have a condo. We both had marriages that went
poof. But we knowthis pairing is the Real Thing.
Were home.
So its time to share a house. Andthis particu-
lar one is lovely. Its old (1887). It has a window
seat and a sun-lit breakfast nook. My pulse is
actually quickening as I type these words.
It also lacks central air and has just the one
shower and is a bedroom short of the number
of bedrooms we need. And its requiring the
kind of nancial cartwheels and hat tricks that
you gure you wont have to resort to when you
spend your whole. Adult. Life. Working. (And a
good part of your youth too.)
But it felt like our home fromthe moment we
stepped all of our feet in it his feet, my feet,
our kids six collective feet.
I knew we belonged together, this house
and my family, and I knew we would love each
other not just in spite of our shortcomings, but
because of them.
Thats a thing you learn when jobs end and
goals morph and marriages go poof. Perfection
isnt really a path. Not one worth pursuing, any-
way.
Better to nd a path that leads you to places
and people that ll you up and make you laugh
and show you the very best version of yourself.
So we bought that house.
And well spend the summer painting and
moving and negotiating tight spaces. And I
foresee all sorts of beautiful memories being
made and roots being planted and friends being
gathered.
And mornings spent ghting over the shower
and nights spent sweating the mortgage. (And
the lack of AC.)
Its a giant leap of faith. And my riskiest one
to date.
And this, 2013, will be my summer of love.
Heidi Stevens writes the Balancing Act column in
the Tribunes Sunday feature section.
I
always envied the hippies
their summer of love. My
coming-of-age summers were
spent experimenting not with
communal living andfree love,
but unpaid labor in the form
of newspaper internships and
free food from my relatives.
Heady times.
I realize its foolish to look back and wish I
dabbled in more recreational drugs. Especially
since my parents are reading this.
DIP A TOE
Dont waste your sunscreen on
any old spot try one of our
top Chicago swimming holes:
12TH STREET BEACH CHICAGO is
unusually blessed with swimming spots
(hint: keep walking east). But unfortu-
nately, the really popular parts of the
lakefront can be mixed blessings think
North Avenue or Montrose Beach on
a sunny July Saturday. Head instead to
the Park Districts 12th Street Beach on
Northerly Island. Theres a wide stretch
of white sand, a nice, new beach house
and nearby parking, all bordering the
Northerly Island grassland and under the
dome of the Adler Planetarium.
chicagoparkdistrict.com
CYPRESS COVE Value per splash,
our pick for water parks is the Cypress
Cove Family Aquatic Park in suburban
Woodridge. This oasis of water slide,
lazy river and plunge pool is run by the
Woodridge Park District and is open to
residents and non-residents alike. There
are a half-dozen different water areas
to choose from, plus concessions, sun
decks and green-garden surroundings.
cypresscove.org
CENTENNIAL BEACH Part beach, part
water park, part old-timey swimming hole,
this Naperville Park District beach has
sand, open water, diving boards, slides
and oating docks, and is big enough to
host a triathlon and other events over the
summer.
napervilleparks.org/centennialbeach
63RD STREET BEACH The glorious
Classical Revival beach house, completed
in 1919, makes this the Great Gatsby
of Chicago swim spots, but that doesnt
mean you have to do without modern
amenities. During the summer season,
you can indulsge in bike rentals, snacks,
and a kid-friendly interactive water fea-
ture. Also included: a wide, sandy, beach.

SOMETHING LIVE
SAVOR THE
SUMMER CLASSICS
PICKING PLENTY
Pick your own organic strawberries at Roseys
Berry Farm this Northwest Indiana spot prom-
ises to use no chemical pesticides, herbicides or
growth enhancers. Strawberries are scheduled
to ripen around June 5 this year a little later
than usual, due to rain.
1066 N. 1150 West Michigan City, Ind.;

DAY IN THE PARK
Quite possibly the most magical park in all of
Chicago, Indian Boundary Park is named for a
territorial boundary established by the Treaty of
1816 between the Pottawattomie Indians and
the U.S. government. Today it boasts a lovely
Tudor-style eld house, a fantastic playground, a
childrens spray pool, a small zoo, tennis courts
and, best of all, a lagoon lled with ducks, turtles
and sh. BYOB: Bring Your Own (stale) Bread.

MOON BATHING
Playing with re may be a big no-no but
performing with re can be spectacular. See for
yourself at the Chicago Full Moon Jam, on or
around the full moon each month this summer in
Lincoln Park just south of Foster Avenue beach.
About 100 re spinners turn out to perform at
the free, family-friendly re jams with aming
batons, hula hoops, fans and poi, which are
lengths of chains with a re ball attached at one
end. The action takes place inside a giant re
circle laid out on the park lawn. This months
event falls on Thursday, May 23, beginning at
7:30 p.m. Arrive early to spread out blankets,
set up chairs and enjoy a picnic; leave grills and
alcohol at home.
Fullmoonjam.org
ARTY STROLLER TOURS
Its never too early to introduce art to the wee
ones, is it? So say a silent prayer of thanks to the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago for host-
ing a stroller tour on the rst Wednesday of
every month. The hour-long program is designed
to allow you to be mindful of your young
ones as you look and talk about arts with other
adults. Imagine: An hour of Basquiat instead of
Barney.
June 5, July 3, Aug. 7, 11:30 a.m.;
mcachicago.org.
THE SURE-THING SERIES
While its often worth leaving downtown at
days end, at least one thing is worth spending
evenings with the shopping bag-toters: free
music at Pritzker Pavilion. The programming
is adventurous, the sound pristine, and the
view, unbeatable. Oh, and its free.
New Music Mondays run May 27 to
July 29, featuring acts that t loosely into
the alternative category. Look for singer-
songwriter Sharon Van Etten (June 3), Glen
Hansard (June 10), Americana outt Carolina
Chocolate Drops (June 24) and L.A. country
rock band Dawes (July 8).
The series gets more ambitious, too: Loops
and Variations, mostly electronic music, is held
Thursday evenings between June 13 and July
18; between July 25 and Aug. 29, Thursdays
feature Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz.
Highlights include the experimental Jeff Parker-
Nels Cline Quartet (Aug. 8) and the more clas-
sic stylings of Jack DeJohnette (Aug. 29).

A WHIRLWIND WEEKEND
A weekend with something for everyone.
Pitchfork Festivals three-night stand at Union
Park, Phish at Northerly Island for the same
three nights and Pearl Jam plays at Wrigley
Field on Friday.
July 19 21; Phish.com; Pearljam.com;

A FAVORITE SON
Robbie Fulks plays at The Hideout every
Monday all year long, but something about
a warm day and a cold beer seem to make it
even livelier. Each week, a different guest (or
guests) joins Fulks for his brand of stomping
rock, country and folk. Need a place to start?
On May 20, Fulks and band perform Bob
Dylans Street Legal in its entirety.

BE A KID AT HEART
DAY IN THE COUNTRY
Tired of slicked-up, watered-down urban
cowboy county fairs? Then get thee to the
DuPage County Fair. The county is keeping
it real with pig races, pony (and camel) rides,
corn dogs, elephant ears, a pie-eating contest,
a hay-bale rolling contest and all the usual
bunnies, cows, sheep, goats and chickens.
Youll also nd carnival rides, home ec displays
and the demolition derby. The fair runs from
July 24-28 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds.
2015 Manchester Road, Wheaton, 630-
668-6636.
THE ULTIMATE ICE CREAM SUNDAE
A real old-fashioned ice cream parlour,
Margies Candies has been doing it right since
1921. We recommend the Turtle Split, with
three scoops of homemade ice cream (were
partial to coconut), dreamy caramel sauce,
nuts, a cherry and pillows of whipped cream.
Did we mention that this little number comes
with a side of fudge, served in a silver gravy
boat?
1960 N. Western, Chicago, (773) 384-
1035, margiesnecandies.com.
AN OLD-SCHOOL SKATE
At Fleetwood Skating Rink on Archer, Sat-
urdays are full of kid birthday party-goers, but
on Sundays the classic-model roller rink quiets
down, leaving the wood oor comparatively
empty for cruising through your roller disco
moves or teaching a rst-timer to skate.
Sundays 1:30 to 9; 7231 W. Archer,
Summit;eetwoodrollerrink.com
BIG DAYS AT THE BALLPARKS
The citys most enduring rivalry plays out
over four May days as the Cubs and the White
Sox face off in the Crosstown Classic. Head
rst to Sox territory, U.S. Cellular Field, for
night games on May 27 and 28. The action
shifts to Wrigley Field for two daytime games
on May 29 and 30. For tickets and game info:
