it happened overnight.
summer.
gone is my cool, springtime, sweater-inducing breeze; kidnapped, along with the sun, by humid-heavy clouds, replaced with an oppressive, dank, july heat that makes my hair dreadlock down the back of my neck into a thick, sweaty mullet, and whirls the ceiling fans into hours of overtime.
find me a hammock-hanging porch, an unlimited supply of coffee, a good read, and let’s order some change of address labels until november.
always the last one {invited} to the party, how is it that i’m JUST now finding out about the magic of iced coffee?
i’ll admit the idea of serving coffee other than the third-degree-we’re-going-to-the-emergency-room-HOT kind has always seemed a bit, blasphemous to me; kind of like doing push-ups on a spin bike…oh wait…
but last weekend i inadvertently grabbed the wrong drink at a coffee bar, took a sip of some poor fool’s delicious iced coffee, fell in mad love with his icy mocha dream, and then made like a bandit out to my car.
 like a dog who’d stolen steak from the dinner table {i’ve seen it done first hand!} i took off with my new prize and slurped it down before the barista police caught me; brain freeze be damned!
i’ve since been trying to perfect the iced coffee at home….not as easy as it i thought it would be..
did you know it has to steep for TWELVE hours…twelve hours!?!? twelve hours for something i just drink? i might as well grow my own coffee beans.
…any tips would be appreciated.
so far i like this recipe the best.
..mason jars help…
speaking of mason jars, currently my house looks like it had a bad case of the mason jar stomach-flu.
i helped throw a baby shower over the weekend and the theme was:….mason jar…
not really, but pink hydrangeas and spray roses just seem to demand a mason jar.
 i want to keep the theme going.
these mason-jar recipes look delicious and super easy.
i don’t want be in the kitchen when it ISN’T hot and sticky, let alone in this, are we in florida or on the sun?-weather; these portable, pretty meals will get you outside, hopefully to the beach or into somewhere else equally beautiful, like a mall or target?
how many times can i say/write “mason-jar” in one post?
if you are staying inside have you been watching the leftovers? or tyrant?
SO good!
i’m back to tomorrow with some summer skin savers.
see ya then, ‘kay?
wishing you a wednesday of both tides high + vibes good.
peace out m’loves.
