easy non-alcoholic mixed drinks
not something that we usually post, but thought it might be nice for the times when you want something slightly fancier than a pre-packaged drink, but don’t want to put in too much effort or drink alcohol. the instructions for all of the following “recipes” are to simply mix the ingredients together in a tall glass.
passion fruit + grapefruit twist:
12 oz. grapefruit sparkling water
1/3 cup passion fruit juice cocktail
pomegranate berry “sangria”:
12 oz. cranberry, mixed-berry, or cherry sparkling water
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
optional: 2 tbs. cranberry juice
optional: 1 tbs. grenadine syrup
optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste
cranberry lime:
12 oz. lime sparkling water
1/3 cup cranberry juice
optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste
optional: half a small lime’s worth of fresh juice
optional: a slice of fresh lime as garnish for the rim
summer sunrise:
6 oz. plain sparkling water or tonic water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
optional: 2 tbs. grenadine syrup

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees
#scylla is just an airline employee who tells odysseus that his suitcase is too heavy and he has to sacrifice six items#the gods are managers

George Henry (1858-1943) - On the Banks of Allan Water : Winter
Oil on canvas. Painted in 1888.
43.75 x 87 inches, 111 x 221 cm. Estimate: £15,000-25,000.
To be sold Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, 26 Sept 2024.
Third part of a triptych to illustrate On the Banks of Allan Water, a popular song, the three works were installed in a mansion house and have not been seen in public before.
On the Banks of Allan Water When the sweet springtime did fall Was the miller’s lovely daughter, Fairest of them all, For his bride a soldier sought her, And a winning tongue had he! On the Banks of Allan Water, None so gay as she.
On the Banks of Allan Water, When brown Autumn spreads its store There I saw the Miller’s daughter, But she smiled no more. For the summer grief had brought her And her soldier, false was he; On the Banks of Allan Water, None so sad as she.
On the Banks of Allan Water, When the winter snow fell fast, There I saw the Miller’s daughter; Chilling blew the blast, But the miller’s lovely daughter, Both from care and cold was free; On the Banks of Allan Water, There a corpse lay she.
I've posted the other two paintings that are also in this sale.
