It's freezing outside right now (it's 65 degrees-I do recognize that that won't feel so freezing come winter!), so I kind of forgot how hot it was this weekend. But man, that was a scorcher.
It was so hot, really the only thing I could do was go to the happy place and jump in the lake immediately. I had a dear friend from college in town, plus Emma was around, so of course we needed ring pops. Also, lemon slush. (Is that a uniquely New England summer treat? I am kind of getting the impression that it is.)
As it turns out, homemade granola is an excellent snack after a late night of dancing with your sister and her friends. (I'm still looking for the perfect recipe though- anyone have any suggestions?)
Once it cooled down, I got to have an Arnold Palmer, read my book, and write some letters at Hi-Rise. A weekend where I spend time at two of my happy places is a good weekend, indeed.
Happy Monday, Friends!
I just made granola using the recipe from Oh She Glows (http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/04/my-favourite-homemade-granola-to-date/) I didn't have coconut and used olive oil instead of coconut oil, and used way less nuts/seeds than her, but it turned out DELICIOUS! Maybe I just think it's perfect because it's the first batch I have not overbaked, ever :)
ReplyDeleteNo fair. The heat is already gone and it is cool? We have been at 95+ temps for weeks. That is part of living in STL though.
ReplyDeleteRING POPS! YES!!
ReplyDelete(that is all.)
whew! it's been pretty hot here too. i haven't figured out what to do with myself when it gets hot though. i mostly just sit in front of my fan with ice cream and moan "why?... WHY?!" i think i need to make friends with someone who owns a pool near me... ;) hope your week is even more fun!
