It’s been HOT around these parts. Caring for the two little ones and a hyper dog doesn’t fair well in this lock me indoor and plop me in front of the air conditioning to avoid a slow painful death via melting onto extraordinary hot concrete kinda weather. A friend in the neighborhood has an overly productive lemon tree. Hot weather + free lemons = Must make lemonade. We added strawberrys too. It was a delicious way to keep hydrated. We used this recipe. 

How you like ‘dem lemons? Yes, I agree… Bigger than an elephants nut sack.

I chose not to strain the strawberries after blending them. I prefer the chunky bits. 

The recipe offers two alternatives to sugar: organic agave nector or mild-flavored honey. I chose sugar because what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

Voila!
