Round the Sphere Again: Summer Food and Drink

Iced Tea
We’ve been having wonderful weather, so I’ve been making our favorite summer drink. I make iced tea like this, except I use only 1/2 cup sugar. Lately I’ve been using Earl Grey tea, but any kind of tea will work—black, green or herbal. And I slice a lemon into each pitcher before I chill. My son sometimes mixed his half and half with whatever juice we have on hand.

Pasta Salads
We love them. Today I made Darlene’s Tuna Salad, and a few days ago, I threw together a grilled chicken pasta salad with honey mustard dressing. Sorry, no recipe for that because I made it up as I went along with whatever we had on hand. I used tri-colored spirals, grilled chicken cubes, diced celery, shredded carrots, onions and frozen peas, all tossed together with a bottle of honey mustard dressing.

What is your favorite pasta salad? Do you have a recipe? A link?

Sunday's Hymn

Breathe on Me, Breath of God

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

—Edwin Hatch
