There's no such thing as too much mashing!

I’ll spare you my spiel about how domestic I’ve been behaving/feeling lately, what with spending about 4 hours in the kitchen last Sunday, or realizing that I actually enjoy ironing… but it has to be touched upon because the topic of today's blog is...

Homemade Raspberry Lemonade!!!

So I jotted down this recipe a couple months back, but finally decided to get the ingredients for it the other day, and then made it tonight after work.

Here it is in the early stages – after 20 minutes of lemon slicing (my hands were so lemony-fresh!) - and throwing it all together:
So mash, mash, mash with a potato masher for like 5 or so minutes, and you've got...
Humor me and say this looks delicious.

OK, so then I strained it, added some water, and was absolutely delighted to discover the extravagant delight that is homemade raspberry lemonade. For real. Four ingredients and some smooshing, and you've got such a tasty drink.
Roommate Tracy and I enjoyed some, and then I beckoned down our upstairs neighbors for some movie watching and beverage sharing. It is fabulous that something so tasty can be made so easily and by someone like me. Bravo, the concept of making things by hand...

Anyway, this is mostly all here because people like Robert have been nagging me to post again, and also, that first picture was so stunning, I felt I had to make an excuse to get it online.

Goodnight, and good whatnot.

You can also do this with mint leaves as opposed to raspberries. It's yummy, but now I am going to have to try raspberry lemonade. Yum.
