Lemonade!

We had a great harvest of Eureka lemons, plus a few Meyer lemons that we had grafted on to the tree.


Lemonade is great, right? Here's the recipe I used. It's not too sweet, and it doesn't require too much measuring.

Ingredients
1.5 cups lemon juice
1.5 cups sugar

Start with a two quart pitcher.
Add the sugar first.  # This way you can reuse the measuring cup.
Add the lemon juice.
Fill the pitcher with cold water.
Refrigerate.

Aren't recipes a little like a programming language? Ingredients are declared, then steps are executed. You can even have comments or loops like "check every five minutes until done".

I just hope I don't find a bug in my recipe!
