In honor of Memorial Day and summer kick-off, here are the things I think you really need to survive a summer in the South!
Body of water (beach strongly preferred, lake acceptable, swimming pool will suffice)
Lemon icebox pie
2 graham cracker pie shells
for filling:
1 tub cool whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 can lemonade concentrate
Refrigerate pies a couple of hours to let them set up. Yum!
Knit dress (I live in these during 90+ degree days)
Rainbow sandals
Sweet tea
Boil 8 cups water
Add two family size tea bags and turn off heat
Let steep 10 minutes or so
Add 1 cup sugar
Stir, transfer to pitcher, and chill
What are your summer must-haves?
Glad to see 10 years in Cincinnati did nothing to dampen the southern in you :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my summer must-haves . . . anything with lime!! Diet coke with lime, Tostitos with lime, key lime pie, lime daiquiris (but without the rum), water with lime. I LOVE lime :) It just says summer! Got any good recipes with lime?
