More cheer at Lemonade

It seems that the sure-fire way to cheer up Minky is a visit to Lemonade on Beverly near Doheny. (Their Venice location is right by the Maharishi's office on Abbot Kinney). High School took a turn for the better today. She made friends with a couple more girls, enjoyed her science class, has figured out that the math they're doing is something she did last year, and one of the cool boys talked to her over lunch. A much more fresh-faced, sparkly Minky greeted me today, and chatted away happily as I ordered, at her behest, the cauliflower, raisin & almond salad with curry (a delicious shade of turmeric yellow) and the refreshing nectarine, rice & cheddar salad. Oooh, and the peach ginger lemonade is out of this world, especially if you have a scratchy throat.
