Spiked Pomegranate Arnold Palmer I have been allllllll about the cold beverages lately, even though it's actually been a pretty cool summer so far. Seriously, I was wearing a light sweater and cuddled under a blanket the other evening. In July. In Michigan. That's rare!
Caution, affiliate links ahead...Don't worry, I'll use the money for something practical, like wine.... or a pony! I love it when local watermelons start popping up at the farmers market, it's my unofficial start to summer. My kids love watermelon so I buy tons of it in the summer.
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here it is H O T! Salad is what's for dinner pretty much every night, and the kids really aren't interested in eating anything other than ice cream. In the five days that my dad was visiting, I think we went to Snooks at least four times.
I feel I need to apologize to the Vegan MoFoers. I had a plan. Really, I did. A plan to post quite a bit during the month of September all about vegan baking science. And it's only the 5th day of the month but the plan is already shot to hell.

Seriously this habit of posting late is getting to be a a true habit, good or bad I'm not sure. I just had a moment one day of not wanting to finish a blog post at 9:30pm and that's how it started.
We are breaking weather records all over the place here in Seattle this summer and when I look back over the last two months or so I think I can document how we've been dealing with it all by looking at the wide variety of drinks we've been consuming.
Now that I've publicly chugged whiskey right from the bottle (see this if you have no idea what I'm talking about), I feel like you and I can be a little looser with the whiskey 'round these parts. Am I right? Gosh, I hope so.
Summer temperatures are here and with them, my aversion to turning on the oven. I still do plenty of baking in the summer, just not as much, and usually only in the morning.
It was kind of cold yesterday, clearly not a day for lemonade. But I was thirsty. You know, that kind of thirst where you want something sweet, but not too sweet. And something sour, but not too sour. I felt like I could have drank a whole pitcher of this.
I love a cold refreshing drink in the summer time. The days are hot and I just want to spend my time in the pool with a cool beverage by my side. My favorite cool drinks are types of lemonade - and this mint cherry limeade is no exception.
