DD> Add a little lemon and you've got ...

One fun game to play is "What would i do in the northern hemisphere without
fossil fuels and globalization?"

I know a man in Eugene who has a mature lemon tree.  I have eaten the
lemons, but have not seen the tree.  I hear that during winter he puts a
shelter over it and provides some kind of heat.  It's probably heated
with hydro-electric power.

Maybe a more plentiful substitute would be tart grapes, or berries such as
Oregon grapes.

I read the local indigenous people would dry Madrone berries, grind them
to a powder, and use them to make a cool, refreshing drink in the summer.
These berries get ripe during the first frost, so by summer time it would
be last year's berries.  Perhaps they are more tart before they ripen.
Something for me to experiment with...
