Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'

It's a toss up between ice tea with sugar and lemons or ice cold lemonade with lemons, since I love them both!

Homemade pea soup. My father loved it, so once in awhile my mother would make a big batch of it, mostly for him, since most of us kids, didn't like it very well. Us children were never very happy, when she made it, but my dad was. I still think of him whenever I hear pea soup!

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

Now that I'm "older", I have several small raised gardens. I have no room for sweet corn, but still grow tomatoes, green peppers, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, green beans and a few squash and zucchini. I also have a small strawberry bed. It's surprising how much you can grow, just in small gardens and everything tastes so much better, then what you buy.

Those chocolate covered eggs look good! We always have the hard boiled eggs that are cooked and colored and decorated, the night before, for breakfast Easter morning and a ham with all the fixings for Easter dinner!

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.
