Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'

Sweet tea... but not sticky sweet. Made in large pitchers every other day with Lusianne decaf plus some lemon herbal or peach tea and just a little bit of sugar. Sweet Tea is the official "wine" of the state of South Carolina, after all!

How Do We Save Starbucks?

I think it's worth saving, too. But I'd start my list with "improve the coffee." Burnt and bitter doesn't equal dark roast. I'm a big fan of Seattle's Best, which is always good no matter where you get it. I have found, though, that if I get a "Coffee American" but have them make it with 2 espressos (instead of 4) and the rest hot water and served in a Venti cup, it's really good.

I don't eat their breakfast food but do love an occasional "sweet snack" and they are pretty good. And they let us hang out and knit in their place once in a while.... it's a large one and has plenty of empty room.

Now let's all save Krispy Kreme... like get them to go back to a good variety of cake doughnuts like they used to do instead of only the fat bombs.

Dark chocolate... Especially Seattle Chocolates Espresso Truffle Bars, but I'm open to any dark chocolate.

4) You pay for internet at home. Why shouldn't you pay for it at a coffee shop?

Because I don't pay $5 for a cup of coffee at home... that's why.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!

Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.

I believe it's called Palmer Tea - 1/2 sweet tea, 1/2 lemonade. So good!

I have recently been drinking watermelon slushies!
They taste great and they're low-cal. Just put crushed ice and watermelon cubes in a blender for about 5 seconds and you have a great summertime drink!

My fave summer drink is a big pitcher of Sangria, with fresh peach slices and other summer fruits floating in it...its like a snack and an alcoholic bevvie and a thirst quencher, all in one! (And I would share the pitcher, in case anyone was wondering...)
