Apples on Monday

Eat an apple

Save the core

Plant the seeds

And grow some more..

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A great fruit for all of us to enjoy. Your bright green ones look nice in the blue bowl.

A simple yet profound photo--but I'm partial, because apples are my favorite fruit!

THE SEEKERS OF YELLOW

The seekers of yellow, they say,
Will have a most terrible day
Should they not behold
Cream, amber or gold
To burnish life’s dull shades of grey.

Thank you one and all.. Actually, the blue bowl is a planter I picked up at my old job years ago.. Sometimes, the light and the objects come together very well in my kitchen. I came home from going food shopping on Saturday. Put the apples in the bowl and conveniently had my camera sitting on the table.. that's all it took.. A two shots and bingo! :)

10 lemons, juiced, approx 1 cup of lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups water
8-10 strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup vodka (optional)

Directions:
Juice the lemons and transfer the juice into a large pitcher. Add the sugar and the water and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Add the strawberries and basil. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture for about 20 seconds just until the mixture turns pink and the basil is finely chopped. Add alcohol if desired. Serve with lots of crushed ice.
