  • Hot night, cool dinner

    In a recent short heat wave we had, we were invited to a good friend’s house for an amazing vegan dinner. Even though the temperature was hot, the meal was a cool, refreshing respite from the heat. We started off the night with a delicious and tangy homemade lemonade.
