We have a polar tec vest that I’ve worn as a layer for 6-7 years, from our favorite neighborhood restaurant in California. The other day, our butcher at Whole Foods asked about it. It was an affinity “gift” after many meals at Rock Bottom.
Whole Foods also has a drink that is half iced tea, half lemonade. One day we were at Rock Bottom and my husband (boyfriend at the time) didn’t know whether to get iced tea or lemonade. Our waitress suggested an Arnold Palmer, and as an interested cook, I asked what that is.
Half and half tea and lemonade. And my loving husband Jim asked, “Who’s Arnold Palmer?”
In a hurricane, tornado or snowstorm he’s my guy. When it comes to the Superbowl, I prime him with the teams and cities and at least the QB’s. I’m no expert on sports but need to make this lovable geek able to make small talk with the other geeks at work. When it comes to golf, I don’t talk Tiger, but Arnie is a legend that speaks for itself.
And Jim loves the California drink (non-alcoholic) that mixes iced tea with lemonade. Cheers, Dee
Cooking with Dee 
I live close to Latrobe, PA — birthplace of Arnie (and home to the country club, airport, and car dealership named after him — among other things I’m sure)! He’s a legend everywhere, but particularly here in Western PA.
I grew up in western NY and never knew that. I hope he likes lemonade and iced tea, because Californians seem to think he does. Please check out this blog because as I transposed Edelweiss this weekend for beginner guitar students (my nieces) she does write by ear. Dee
Oh, yes, the lemonade/iced tea combo is true. It’s right on Arnie’s Web site…www.arnoldpalmer.com…and on Wikipedia (so, you know, it has to be true :-)
I’m anxious to hear our neighbor’s [the sportswriter] stories when he gets back from Augusta this week!
We love Arnold Palmers! We buy it in gallon jugs @ Wegman’s (made by Arizona Tea Co).
