We are doing a blast from the past theme day today on b5. When I think of the summers of my childhood I think of lots of longs days with nothing but time, hamburgers done on the grill, and this refreshing tea that a neighbor from New New York always made, Long Island Tea.

Sometimes you want something besides sweet tea or lemonade. This is absolutely the best slushy drink in the universe, and you can vary the juices to suit what you have or your own taste.

This is so good, as far as I am concerned anyway. It makes a great drink to sip in the evening while you watch the sun go down from the porch. Listen to the crickets, watch the stars come out…all of the goodness of living in the country.

Yesterday it hit 100. Was it only a few weeks ago that it was cold? It seems like it. Now the house gets too hot in the afternoons to do much other than read a book in front of the fan.

Tea smoked meat? What?
O.k..maybe it is because I am in Texas, or maybe it is because I love smoked meat but I think that smoked meat just has an amazing flavor. Tea has an amazing flavor…You can infuse the flavor of tea into meat by smoking it. Cool huh?
