recipe for a summer weekend

8 July 2007 at 18:58 Comments off

Hot town, summer in the city—
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.
Been down, isn’t it a pity:
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city.

Delicious Ice Cold Lemonade

  • Juice of 6 or 7 lemons, approx. 1 c. juice
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 5 c. water
  • 1/4 tsp. pure lemon extract

Make a simple syrup by heating 1 c. water and stirring the sugar in until it’s all dissolved. Add this to the lemon juice in a pitcher with the lemon extract. If you happen to have any handy and are so inclined, throw in a couple of tbsp. of grenadine to turn this concoction into pink lemonade. Add as much ice as is in your freezer, add water until you’re happy (or 4 c. if you’re a stickler for recipes).

And if you’re bored and not too worried about dehydration issues, feel free to adulterate your lemonade with cold vodka.

Summer in a glass.

Argh! I have no idea how you DPN fans can cope with these things. I about stabbed my eyes out like six times, and I’m only three rows into this blasted toe.

I swear I will make it out of this sock alive, even if it kills me.

p.s. Am now two balls of yarn into my Clapotis. Fuzzy mohair yarn + ball winder on my computer desk = keyboard full of colorful fluff. But, the Clapotis looks good — though I may have to break my budget and run to Loopy tomorrow and buy a 5mm Addi circ, because the straights killed my right wrist (too much weight; I had to switch to a circ) but my Boye circ (with a fighty cable, even after the boiling water trick) is not much better. Ow ow ow.

hobbies, knitting none

I still do not like that man.

Hey, guys, guess what? Everyone hates Bush!

…[T]he discontent with the Bush presidency is broader and deeper among Republican lawmakers, some of whom seethe with anger. “Our members just wish this thing would be over,” said a senior House Republican who met with Bush recently. “People are tired of him.” Bush’s circle remains sealed tight, the lawmaker said. “There’s nobody there who can stand up to him and tell him, ‘Mr. President, you’ve got to do this. You’re wrong on this.’ There’s no adult supervision. It’s like he’s oblivious. Maybe that’s a defense mechanism.”
…
Horne said he is not a Bush supporter but was nonetheless struck by the president’s tranquility. “He was very friendly, very relaxed,” Horne said. “My God, he looked well. He looked like he came off a cruise in the Caribbean. He looked like he hadn’t a care in the world. It was amazing.”

Yeah, well. Considering he can just do whatever the hell he wants, why wouldn’t he be relaxed?

I still do not have adequate words to describe my sentiments. Pretty angry about the whole thing yesterday.

Hey, Boone Logan, here’s some advice for you: suck less!

Fans are “just a bunch of idiots,” indeed. Charming. Seriously, if you want to be a dick to your fans, you have to pitch at least as good as Jose Contreras. Instead of like my mother.
