This rosemary-infused watermelon lemonade recipe duplicates my favorite lemonade from a Los Angeles cafe called "Lemonade." I don't like it too sweet, so if you want to add more sugar, cool. It also makes a great martini served in a sugar-rimmed glass with a watermelon wedge and a twist of lemon garnish. Simply fabulous!

This is a dense, moist, and very flavorful apple frangipane cake that is very almond-forward in a yummy way. The apples complement it nicely and I loved the crunch of the toasted almonds on top.
