• What's better on a hot summer afternoon — iced tea or lemonade? Thanks to Arnold Palmer, I don't have to choose! #

After we struck out at Black Angus, we wound up at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que on my son’s recommendation.

Not only does it turn out to be better than Black Angus, they’ve got — mint juleps!

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have an alcoholic beverage at a family lunch, but I love mint juleps and it’s rare to find a place that advertises their ability to make one.

“What kind would you like?” the waiter asks.

“There are kinds of mint juleps?” I ask.

“We have seven different brands of bourbon.”

“Oh. Let’s go with the Wild Turkey.”

Ahhh, I’m in heaven . . .

Arnold Palmer may have won a lot of golf tournaments, but his greatest accomplishment in my opinion was to say, “Hey, let’s mix some lemonade in with the iced tea.”

Nothing better on a hot day!

Thanks, Arnie!
