Recipe for Limeade

We have two large lime trees in the backyard, which produce more than we can use. We have started drinking lots of limeade, made with the fresh squeezed juice. We also juice extra limes and freeze the juice in individual serving sizes.

  • 5 limes, picked from our backyard tree
  • A couple spoonfuls of sugar
  • 600 ml sparkling water
  • Mix and share in two large cups

Enjoy!

Corn

Corn is plentiful from September through December. Often a meal will include multiple versions of corn – in the form of corn tortillas, corn on the cob, tostadas (fried corn tortillas), many types of corn bread, even drinks made from corn (it’s called “atole” – it’s thick like oatmeal or grits).

We helped with harvesting for a little while this afternoon, and here I am carrying some home.
