Decadence […]

Apple Pie Smoothie
Thanks, everyone, for your great comments on yesterday’s post!

Under normal circumstances, July and August herald brilliantly sunny days with lush green lawns, a profusion of garden flowers and lazy swishing leaves on tree branches overhanging our suburban streets. The temperatures hover around 30-32C (86-90F), more like 40C (104F) with […]
