A Recipe To Beat The Heat


Three lemons were on the grocery list.  Funny thing is it was much less expensive to buy a whole bag of lemons.  So, a bag of lemons is what came home with me.



The men in my house all like lemonade.  They especially like fresh squeezed lemonade.  So, I lit my lemon scented candle . . .

got out my vintage juicer & began squeezing.
I followed this simple recipe.



Before long those lemons looked like this.

And then they looked like this.

  We've been setting records here with the oppressive heat and humidity.  But the local meteorologists are promising a big change is in store for the rest of the week.  I sure do hope they are right.  Until then, you can find me sipping a cool glass of freshly squeezed lemonade (in the house with the A/C on).

  8. It has been so hot here too and your lemonade looked so tempting. What a beautiful way to share lemonade. You made it look so appealing and so refreshing. Your plate with the lemons is one I would have chosen if I saw it. In my mind, you found the perfect recipe to beat the heat.

  13. You take the nicest photos...I can almost reach out and sip from that glass and I swear I'm smelling lemons. Our weather, so miserably humid for days, has taken a much cooler and pleasant turn. Hope that yours has, too.

  14. That lemonade sounds so good. I haven't been able to have any for at least 20 years. Acid reflux. But I could almost taste it reading here.
