Beat the Heat

Ok.  So it IS hot out there.

This post ought to help everyone out there!

Remember this? Sundogs only appear when it is REALLY cold.


 How about hoar frost on the fence.  Don't you just want to jump in the snow?


This picture is currently the background photo on my computer.


And this one just looks cool.


One trick to beat the heat - have snow peas for dinner.

Another trick for beating the heat.  Make a slushy.

If you are lucky enough to have a Tammy in the house, she just might make a slushy using the lemonade she makes and the peaches she canned last summer.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups of water or 1 cup water & 1 cup canned peach juice
  (you could reduce sugar if you have heavy syrup)
1-2  peaches
Approx 15 ice cubes

Place in the blender on medium (or if you are lucky enough to have an ice breaker setting, use it) until ice is broken up to a consistency you want.

Poor into two big glass mugs and enjoy.  Don't drink it too fast - you'll get a brain freeze!
