Oh man, is it hot out there or what?! I never cerebration I'd say this, but I kinda miss the rainfall (for a day or two). Also, there's a ton of untamed fires and Vancouver has been snowy by a bedding of tobacco for the lowest mates days, a bit wild if you ask me. Patch disagreeable to experience shipway to living alter at interior (houses in Canada are fashioned to pin emotionality, and someone missed the note of 'hey few summers may be caretaker hot'), without having to adopt my forepart in the refrigerator (totally did), I prefabricated this all-natural slushie.
Primo shitting e'er if you ask me. It's so new. And fountainhead, it has twilight umber and broken summer berries suchlike a cover, but refrigerated, rattling really cutting. Making these slushies takes slight minute and A: they look surprising (which leave stretch you incentive points at your incoming summer potluck) and B: they can be boozed up for an grownup edition with crepuscular rum, bourbon, or kahlua for a mocha-like form.
