It was 90 degrees at our house this afternoon at 5:00. We only get about 3 days a year like this in San Francisco. So we had a picnic in the park for dinner, and when we got home, we made lemonade. Lemonade: juice of 5 lemons 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste) 16 ozs cold water
Mix all ingredients together and serve in tall glasses.
A zaguán is the entryway into a house. In typical Andalusian houses, the zaguán is a smallish, dark passage inside the doorway that leads in turn to the larger, light-filled interior patio. In Seville, in the heat of summer, zaguán doors are left open so that passersby can take refuge from the sun and heat for a moment before continuing on their way.
We live in the Sunset district of San Francisco, where the fog wins out over the sun most days, and the search for refuge from the heat is a distant memory. Even so, we would like to share our home with you and our stories of growing up in Seville and growing up in San Francisco.
