Lemonade
Lemonade is a beverage consisting of lemon juice, water, sugar or another sweetener and sometimes other ingredients like spices or herbs, typically served cold. There are numerous variations on this drink around the world. In North America and India it usually refers to non-carbonated blends of fresh lemon juice mixed with sugar water or tea with additional lemon slices added as garnish. In the US there are various variations such as grenadine lemonade (commonly pink in appearance) or lemon-lime soda; both these carbonated drinks come together as mixers in cocktails. Lemonade often serves as an ingredient when making cocktails.
Lemonade can have many origins. One tale claims it was first created by Chicago carny Henry Allott who accidently added cinnamon candies to a batch of lemonade and accidentally made it pink and gave it its signature taste. Another account suggests it may have originated when a lion tamer ran out while performing at circus and grabbed some dirty water from outside his tent, adding red fruits and grenadine syrup for color and taste enhancement.

Honey mushrooms (Armillaria mellea) are one of the most frequently eaten edible species on PEI and can be found throughout hardwood, mixedwood and conifer forests. Honey mushrooms are easy to recognize as they appear in trooping clusters on dead or dying trees with round flesh-coloured caps covered in tiny hair-like projections that cover its surface. Their caps may feel tough or gelatinous when touched and can have an acidic flavour which some find unpleasant.
Though not considered toxic, honey mushrooms can cause discomfort to some individuals if consumed in large amounts. Honey mushrooms are best enjoyed cooked and can add an earthy sweetness to soups, sauces and stews. Their natural mucilage thickens broths and soups as well.
Honey mushrooms should only be collected and consumed when fully developed, with unaltered gills that have not turned a dark reddish-brown colour, because these can turn bitter over time as they mature. Do not confuse honey mushrooms with shaggy scaly caps which look very similar but differ due to having smaller rings, darker gills, and brown rather than white spore prints.
