Welcome
Hi Everybody,Wow. I find it hard to believe that we are now nearing the end of July. Where's the time going? We are having wonderful summer weather here in the Kawarthas, but it is a little warmer than we'd like at times. I don't know about you, but when it's humid and above 30°C, I tend to slow right down to a crawl.
This month's newsletter is arriving later than I'd planned. We're in the midst of remodeling our kitchen to add more counter space, and I've fallen way behind in my schedule. Hopefully, the new design will make it easier for us to test Grandma's recipes.
Also, I am announcing several new recipe pages added to my website that feature old-time soft drink recipes. These recipes are perfect for the summer, or anytime. The authentic sodas and fruit beverages were once served at old-time soda fountains, and they taste deliciously refreshing.
Somehow, the old-time beverage category got neglected, so I will be adding even more recipes to it in the coming days, plus some new ice cream recipes. Keep watching.
Thank you for visiting my site.
Till next month,
Don

Old-Time Float Recipes
Nowadays when we think of drinking a "float," we usually think of an ice cream float. In the days of the pharmacy soda fountain, however, floats were citrus fruit drinks with a layer of either rich cream, whipped cream, or grape juice floated on top. Floats are especially delicious and very refreshing. You must try them.Click here to visit the old-time Float Recipes page.
Vintage Fizz Recipes
Fizzes are an old-time drink similar to effervescent sodas. They are fruit flavored and served when the effervescing is at its strongest. They are very refreshing and go down well after a big meal.Click here to visit the vintage Fizz Recipes page.
