With summer in full swing I am really hot and pregnant here in Pennsylvania! The humidity this week is the kind that smacks you right in the face as soon as you step outside. All of my Floridians are rolling their eyes right now but seriously… the heat!!
Dear Humidity,
You can go away any time now.
Sincerely,
The lady that looks like she is ready to pop but is only 26 weeks along. *sigh*
I guess I should start preparing myself for the “Is it twins?” question that is surely coming my way very soon. FYI men, women, and children alike…. don’t ask a pregnant lady if she’s having twins. I get it, I’m large and in charge, I don’t need a reminder. I know, you are curious. I am curious about lots of things too! Mainly why people don’t have sensors. Can you tell the heat is taking a toll on my patience? Thankfully I have a place to vent. 🙂
You could also probably refrain from asking a pregnant lady what kind of delivery she is having. Yes, a young woman asked me that this week while I was on vacation. Ummm…the kind where painful contractions start until I decided I can’t take anymore… get an epidural… then wait to push the baby out of the birth canal and get sewn back together?? Is that the answer you were looking for?? Ok, I’m done complaining about the joys of being with child.. let’s move on, shall we?
Like I said, I need some refreshment over here in the form of something that doesn’t contain high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and a bunch of artificial colors and flavors. So naturally, I stirred up my own pitcher of Strawberry Limeade and *Ta-Da* the preggo is happy again. Indoors. With air conditioning. And no humidity. Enjoying my fresh, cool, non-alcoholic or caffeinated drinky. So much fun, so little time to create this magical concoction. 🙂
So the recipe itself is super easy! Sugar, water, berries, lime… heat… add water. Done! After enjoying this Strawberry Limeade you will be wondering why people drink that bottled stuff to begin with. You can definitely taste the difference between fresh, real berries and artificial strawberry flavorings. There is no comparison either, fresh strawberries all the way!
