Lemonade
- 6 large lemons
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 cups cold water
Roll lemons on hard surface until soft. Cut lemons in half and squeeze out juice. Strain into a large pitcher. Add sugar and 1 cup water. Mix until lemon pulp is crushed. Add remaining water and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add sugar, if needed. Slice lemons and add for color. Add ice cubes and serve.
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness
within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
-- Shirley Jackson, "The Haunting of Hill House"
