An Herb Lemonade for Memorial Weekend


There's a new mint lemonade to add to the herbal lemonade repertoire.  It was a hit at a recent family gathering, which is good, as there's a lot of mint around here.  In fact, I'm slowly but surely working on pulling up all the Kentucky Colonel mint that has taken a foothold in the garden.  It seems a piece came in with some leeks that were transplanted into the garden.   Sneaky stuff, that mint.

The music Playlist is now turned off, due to some feedback I received.  It's still there, at the bottom of the page.  The only difference is you'll have to turn it on now, instead of it coming on automatically.



I recently prepared a salad dressing from Eat To Live, which we're enjoying, with a nice blend of flavors.  It was tweaked a little, as you may have guessed.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 c water
1/4 c seasoned (basil & oregano) rice vinegar
2 tbs roasted garlic olive oil
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c raisins
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.  Have a safe & wonderful Memorial weekend, friends!
