BOOZY AFTERNOON SNACK MENU: Deviled Eggs; Pigs in a Blanket; Turkey Pepperjack Melts; Chocolate-Bottomed Blondies
When I pass a lemonade stand (a rare enough occurrence these days) and I notice that the kids are simply pouring Minute Maid into little cups and selling Enteman’s soft chocolate chip cookies, no matter how cute the young entrepreneurs, I feel anger welling up. When I was a kid, we made lemonade for lemonade stands from scratch! Still, as a grown-up, no amount of anger can prevent me from feeling guilty that I’ve just been biking by and consequently have no money with which to buy re-packaged Minute Maid from the kids.
Fresh Lemonade is a quintessential summertime drink, and it’s really not so hard to make. What’s more, when you make lemonade at home, you can customize it exactly to your taste: if you’re a sourpuss, go easy on the sugar syrup, and if you can’t take too much lemon, ease the flavor with a bit more water. And, unlike at a lemonade stand, here you’ll find a spiked variety too.
