"In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice..."
"In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me ~~some advice~~ a glass of pink lemonade..."
And I would chronically ignore it. He had had to learn his lessons the hard way, his childhood marred by a severely diabetic mother ignorant to her dietary constraints and a father unremarkably worldly and confined to their home due to his wife’s relentless id.
Every year since his sixth yielded marked weight loss for his mother, with knives and needles harvesting her numb, gangrenous limbs at regular intervals. Her mind had lapsed due to neuropathic complications, so, by the time he had barely seen what it meant to live, the doctors had taken from her everything but her torso, her family, the bag that disposed of her waste, and her ever shrieking mouth. The pallbearers said it was the lightest casket they had ever had to lift.
Often I wondered who had enabled her eating habits, whether it was saccharine poison with intent. But my father speaks on this with little detail and my grandfather’s senility or guilt had buried the information by the time I had needed to ask for it. In the end, there are only the experiences we keep and pass forward, like recipes!
Get your sweet tooth ready because the recipe calls for two cups of powdered sugar, three eggs, and a whole loaf of white bread!
When life gives you pink lemons...
...You throw them away because you don't know how to make lemonade.
Reminds me of my brother laughing at a homemade yogurt recipe that said to start with some yogurt, which makes sense if you understand how yogurt is made but still sounds absurd
the epitome of american cuisine
It aligns with the value we bring to the global stage
It's like half the "cooking" videos on youtube where all the ingredients come from cans.
Don't shit on cans how else can you preserve tons of delicious food for a climate apocalypse
delicious food
🤔
How do the lime slices end up in the pitcher? The picture and the instructions don't match.
Probably why it got two stars smh
The instructions are unclear, it raises more questions, and I need more pictures!
How do you go to the store? and how do you slice lime?
"How to make it" is incomplete. I guess I will have to pass on this one.
Big fan of the 2 star rating on it.
