And these flavours are just the kind I dream of - grapefruit lemonade, strawberry and basil lemonade, cucumber mint limeade and blackberry lemonade! I think the first one I plan on making is the strawberry basil, what an amazing combo!</p> </blockquote>http://connie.tumblr.com/post/49847359090http://connie.tumblr.com/post/49847359090Tue, 07 May 2013 06:46:37 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/58f3c080f712d2ed76844f9ad1281ec0/tumblr_mm5e29EpNo1s27waso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dc6a7c3936c22a47ca888409748e64c7/tumblr_mm5e29EpNo1s27waso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4a2a7b017aecf1ebdc20421dd46e9e5e/tumblr_mm5e29EpNo1s27waso3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://connie.tumblr.com/post/49507501265http://connie.tumblr.com/post/49507501265Fri, 03 May 2013 08:23:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnxq7aDsHo1qb8idyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hellocati.tumblr.com/post/7349193965">hellocati</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><span class="n_data">Clothespin Chopsticks</span></strong></p> <p><span class="n_data">Wrote <a href="http://www.kk.org/streetuse/archives/2006/10/springloaded_chop_sticks.php">Kevin Kelly</a>, “<em>You remove the spring from a wooden or plastic spring clothespin, and insert it between two chopsticks — perhaps with a little grove shaved on the chopstick shank.
