Since I'm the only female in the house

{& my guys couldn't care less}

I invited some girlfriends over 

to watch a recent episode with me.

Of course, we enjoyed some

English-inspired refreshments.

I tried my hand at making some English scones

& {instead of cucumber sandwiches}

cucumber punch - which is my favorite!

Here's the recipe . . .

Cucumber Punch 

• 2 liters of lemon-lime soda {I use diet}
• 12 oz. frozen limeade concentrate {undiluted}
• 3 drops almond extract
• 1 cucumber, peeled
• maraschino cherries, drained
• lots of crushed ice

Slice cucumber & put half in a blender with some of the limeade concentrate & blend. Add with the soda,  remainder of the limeade, almond extract, cherries, & ice. Use some of the sliced cucumbers for garnishment.
