We moved to Lake Oconee from Lake Sinclair in Milledgeville, Ga in January of 2016. We were drawn to the unparalleled amenities of the Reynolds community and the excellent charter school at Lake Oconee Academy. It's the idyllic area and was perfect for our family.

Ingredients:

EASY STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU SUMMER DELIGHT RECIPE

Ginger Chamomile Syrup

½ cup honey

1 inch fresh ginger, sliced

4 bags chamomile tea (optional)

Tiramisu

4 large egg yolks, cold from the fridge

16 ounces mascarpone, cold from the fridge

½ cup heavy cream, cold

⅓ cup honey

2 tablespoons Aperol (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

24 lady fingers (a 7-ounce package)

½ cup, plus 3 tablespoons strawberry

jam

1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions:

1. To make the syrup. Bring 1/2 cup water, the honey, and ginger to a gentle boil over medium. Simmer, 1-2 minutes and remove from the heat. Add the tea bags, cover, and steep 15 minutes. Strain out the ginger and discard the tea.

2. In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks, mascarpone, 1/4 cup heavy cream, honey, Aperol, vanilla, and ginger until combined and lightly whipped. Do not beat longer than 2 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cream.

4. Working with one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the ginger syrup. Do not let the ladyfinger sit long in the syrup, they’ll get too soggy. Arrange a single layer of the dipped ladyfingers in a 9x9 inch baking dish.

5. Spoon over about half of the mascarpone cream. Dollop 1/2 cup strawberry jam over the cream. Then arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries on top.

6. Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the ginger syrup, lining them up over the berries one by one. Add the cream on top and spread it into a smooth layer. Cover and chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.

7. Before serving, top with 2-3 tablespoons jam plus the sliced strawberries. If desired, crumble freeze-dried raspberries overtop. Slice, scoop, and enjoy! Makes 8 Servings

PORCH PAINT COLORS

like sky blue or pale aqua.

• Warm Yellows: Sunny yellow tones can add a cheerful and welcoming feel to your porch, especially during the warmer months. Opt for soft, buttery yellows for a subtle look.

• Earthy Browns: Rich brown tones can create a cozy and rustic atmosphere on your porch, particularly if you have wooden elements or brick accents.

• Soft Grays: Light gray shades offer a modern and sophisticated look while providing a neutral backdrop for colorful decor or furniture.

• Nautical Blues: Navy blue or deep indigo can bring a maritime-inspired vibe to your porch, perfect for coastal homes or those aiming for a beachy theme.

Before making a final decision, it's a good idea to test paint samples on a small area of your porch to see how they look in different lighting conditions throughout the day. Additionally, consider the colors of your home's exterior and surroundings to ensure a cohesive look.
