Thursday Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup lime juice
Directions
Fill a large bowl with ice water. Place another bowl inside so it's surrounded on all sides by the ice water. In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. When sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and add lime juice. Pour into bowl sitting in the ice bath to cool lime mixture, about 15 minutes. Pour mixture into a 10 by 12-inch baking dish that's sitting on a sheet tray and put in the freezer. After 1 1/2 hours, remove from freezer and scrape the ice with a fork, being sure to mix the softer center with the more frozen outer edges. Put back into the freezer for another 1 1/2 hours. Before serving, scrape again using the fork.

Saturday Daybook
I am thinking … that today was pretty productive.
I am thankful for … central air conditioning. The heat is incredible at times.
I am reading … Until the Twelfth of Never. True Crime, kind of sad.
I am hoping … that we're doing what I think we're doing next weekend.
On my mind … thinking about ideas for the Mancone Family Reunion.
I'm learning … that I don't miss the computer. I spend far less time on my laptop than I used to. I think it's the whole Central Time thing.
Noticing that … it is time to take Jack to have his claws trimmed.
From the kitchen … nothing actually, got sushi takeout for dinner. Yum!
Around the house … time to buy a dining table.
One of my favorite things … General Hospital. Brenda's back this week!!!
