Hi Linn,

Some more great ideas! I used to put a couple of grapes in my wine when I'd

have a glass, just for the fun of it - this idea can surely be transfered to

my water. Probably would not have thought of it on my own, though, so

thanks!

Sometimes we freeze grapes and then she uses them like ice cubes.

They also make good snacks frozen, more like a treat. The first time

I saw strawberries in a pitcher of water, it was at a spa, I really

didn't think I was going to like the water, but to my surprise it was

really tasty. Makes for a pretty presentation too.

Linn,

I'm definately going to try both of these! Were the strawberries in the

pitcher of water sliced or whole? My life is far from spa-like ... but

these little touches can greatly improve enjoyment of the life I have!

Thanks, Liz

Liz,

The strawberries were left whole, I was surprised at how much they

flavored the water. Smells nice too. I love lime slices in water

also. Actually now that I think of it, that might not make a bad

little concoction, sea salt in water with a little slice of lime!!

Linn,

Limes have now been added to my grocery list. Let's see, I can be at a

spa, or at a Mexican cantina, and all without needing to leave home! At

this rate, you'll soon be publishing a recipe book!

Muchos Gracias <sic>, Liz
