So its summer time!

For most people around the country, thats kind of a big DUH!, but here in Washington State, its kind of like, Wha!! ETHEL!! WHATS THAT BIG BRIGHT YELLER BALL HANGIN IN THE SKY!! Or so the joke sometimes goes :) Summer here is quite mild, with patches of sunshine here and there. We actually are pretty blessed compared to some places that get incredibly hot, or incredibly cold (in the winter that is), I do feel fortunate to have air conditioning in my apartment for the days when it gets 'a little warmer than usual'.

Anyhow, I was beating my head against the wall the other day trying to remember how to make sun tea. I finally googled it, and found a recipe. Then lo, and behold, I found that I had actually posted one on my forum! I should really look there first for some of the things I try to remember.

Sun Tea

9 bags of Lipton tea(or whatever your favorite is)
A clear 4 qt container, preferably glass. They are usually available around this time of year at most supermarkets or variety stores.
Fill with cold water.
Leave it out in direct sunlight for 4-5 hours.

Pour over a tall glass full of ice, and enjoy!

Introduction

Hi! I'm Scot, and I would like to welcome you to my blog. I am branching into the realm of blogging from forums primarily because of ideas I have gotten from other people. Forums are great if there is ongoing discussion, but it becomes quite a bore if there is no one talking about the topics that are there. I have a forum primarily geared toward cooking at http://s4.zetaboards.com/Revords_Roadhouse/index/, but it hasn't seen as much traction as I would like. Some of it is my doing, not being as active as I maybe should on my own forum, however, talking to yourself only gets you so far :) . So after seeing a number of blogs by some really good cooks out there, while not considering myself a good cook by any means, I thought that this would perhaps be a great way to share some things that I come across cooking-wise with the world, but also share other things as well, such as my cuter than yours grand daughter! We have a lot of pictures of her in her short 5 months with us, and Im sure that once she gets to taste some really good cooking from her grandma and grandpa, we'll have some great photos of her enjoying her food, whether its on her face, in her hair, or on the floor!

Anyhow, as time goes on, Im going to be moving my recipies from the forums over to here, as well as adding others I hope that you will enjoy. Feel free to drop me a line any time, or add ideas of your own!

Scot
