Good Cool Drink
Legacy of Linda Clark
Everyone can drink, kids will love it.
Make a gallon of any kind of Kool Aid sweetened drink
mix in a couple cans of Ginger Ale.
Let it get real cold, or you can pour it over ice cubes.
Or freeze some of it in ice cube trays.
Kids will like it as a Pop Sickle, too.

New Years Day brought joy and excitement because the schools would close. Cold hazy mornings would be filled with breakfast gatherings in front of the fireplace. The low table [in height like the Japanese tables,] would be laid with specially prepared meat dish called Hareesa. The famous Kashmiri breakfast delight eaten hot, with baked naan served with kebabs and pink salty tea or Namkeen Chai.
