Lemonade

Today is the first day of summer and it is my favorite time of year. When I was a child we always visited our grandparents during the summer. I loved eating my grandma's (Eula Mae Hix) biscuits, chocolate pudding pie made from scratch, and drinking her homemade lemonade. It is still the best lemonade I have ever tasted.
Here is Eula Mae's recipe...enjoy!
 
Lemonade by Eula Mae Hix
8 lemons juiced
2 cups of sugar
4 cups of water
ice cubes
 
Heat 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar in a pot until sugar is dissolved to make the simple syrup.
Let the simple syrup cool. Add 2 cups of ice cold water. Add the juice of 8 lemons.
Stir and serve over ice.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
