It’s been over 100 degrees every day for seemingly ever in central Texas. Mexican beer with lime hits the spot. Not much new with the diet. Reading Wendy Johnson’s new sock book.

My 85 yr-old Aunt suggested Twilight. Even though I don’t think I’ll like it, I love that she does and will give it a try! Lots of light summer reading and knitting in the A/C.

Lemonade! I’m on a mission to try all the lemonade recipes I’ve accumulated in the quest for the ‘perfect one’! I’d like to read some of the classics this summer. I just finished The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain. Easy, fun read. Rhubarb! I have an abundance of rhubarb – trying out some new rhubarb pie recipes and of course using some of the ‘old standbys’ too.

I just started reading Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe. It’s due back at the library on Monday, so I’ll have to get through it this weekend if I’m going to.

I haven’t been cooking very much for the past week or so because I’ve been working and there are other people at home to cook, but I did make granola the other evening.

It’s been cool here, so I’ve been drinking a lot of tea.

Eating: salmon burgers
Drinking: peach tea
Reading: The Shack, an amazing book that’s really challenged me spiritually. I usually try to limit myself to one book at a time but last week my 7 year old son wanted to go to the library (an opportunity not to be squandered!) and I couldn’t resist picking up the 2008 installment of Best American Short Stories. I love that those compilations let you digest solid, meaty stories in 20-30 minutes, which is great when your day is punctuated by a little one who wants you to watch something great he can do, help him find a lost something or other, or needs you to take him somewhere.

I am really getting into my reading this summer and have been enjoying a combination of new books that I haven’t read and old faves that I always return to. So, I’ve read the entire Twilight series, reread “Truth and Beauty” by Ann Patchett, and am now reading “Do they hear you when you cry” by Fauziya Kassindja, Layli Miller Bashir. Looking at that list, I have definitely defaulted to some more serious reads and think that the next book I pick up should be more in the Twilight vein.

Drinking: hard cider and white wine…Perfect for the warm summer days!

Eating: caprese salad, anything grilled

Hope you’re having a great summer!
