My husband really loves iced tea. I really don’t. He buys cans and cans and cans of it at the market (and the gas station, and the party store…). The packaging says things like “home-brewed!” and “with natural flavorings!” and every can has a picture of some ancient golfer holding a lemon. I really don’t [...]

You’ve gotta love Michigan in the spring.
