Lime's time

Lime's time
Lime makes its presence felt in the newest flavor from Diet Coke. The Chicago Tribune tested the product with folks who regularly drink diet soda, and they all agreed the addition works. Diet Coke with Lime is sold in 8- and 20-ounce bottles, 2-liter bottles and multi-pack cans for $1 to $3.20 at many supermarkets, and online at peapod.com.
Help! My cake has fallen
Like a cup of brown sugar, "Baking 9-1-1" (Fireside, $14) is firmly packed, but with tips and how-tos for hundreds of techniques and conundrums (from breads and sponge cakes to emergency substitutions and culinary rescue missions). Author Sarah Phillips offers dozens of recipes, including one for fantastic oatmeal-raisin cookies. The book is sold at some Barnes & amp; Noble bookstores and online at amazon.com.
Gift from the heart
The delectable, fresh-baked treats in this gift box pleased Chicago Tribune tasters, but there's another layer of goodness: It's from Misericordia's Hearts & amp; Flour Bakery, which employs 30 adults with developmental disabilities who work with two professional bakers. The box comes in two sizes: A small ($25) contains three loaves of bread (Irish soda, cinnamon apple and sour cream); a bag of cookies (chocolate chip and white-chocolate macadamia nut) and a valentine heart-shaped brownie. A large ($50, pictured) includes the breads and brownie; two bags of cookies; and a box of assorted brownies and lemon bars. To order by mail, call (773) 273-4759 or visit online, misericordia.org.
