Old Fashioned Spicy Lemonade
3 tbsps. lemon zest 4 cups water juice of 6 lemons, strained additional lemon slices, studded with whole cloves, or fresh mint	4 cups sugar 2 cinnamon sticks
In a deep saucepan, combine the lemon zest, sugar, water and cinnamon sticks. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil gently, uncovered, over medium heat for five minues. Remove from heat and cool. Strain the mixture through a fine wire sieve or cheesecloth. Add the strained lemon juice to the sugar syrup. Transfer to a glass container and refrigerate until needed. To make the lemonade, mix 4 tbsps. of the lemon syrup with 1 cup of cold water. Fill 2 water glasses with ice and pour in the lemonade; this is enough for 2 average-size water glasses. Garnish and serve.
Onion Fritters
peanut oil, for deep frying 1 tbsp. yellow cornmeal 2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/2 cup cold milk 2-1/2 cups finely chopped onion	3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt dash of grated nutmeg dash of hot red pepper sauce
Heat the peanut oil to 375° in a deep-fryer, or deep, straight-sided pan. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the milk to make a thick batter, smoothing out the lumps. Add the pepper sauce and onions; mix well. Drop several heaping teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and begin turning the first fritter over as soon as you finish dropping in the last spoonful of batter. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel, to drain. Serve immediately. And you won’t regret it if you double the recipe!
Green Tomato Fritters
2 large green tomatoes 1 cup al- purpose flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar pinch of ground mace	milk to cover 2 tsps. baking powder 2 eggs, separated 2/3 cup milk vegetable oil, for frying
Core the tomatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place in a shallow bowl and add milk to cover. Let stand while making the fritter batter. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Stir in the egg yolks, sugar, 2/3 cup milk and mace. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into batter. Pour oil into a skillet to a depth of about 1 inch and heat until very hot, about 375°. Remove the tomato slices from the milk, dip in batter and fry, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted utensil to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

With a second book just published, Chesley Thorne Smith is becoming Holly Springs’ best chronicler of Marshall County history. “Marshall County, from the Collection of Chesley Thorne Smith” follows her first book, “Childhood in Holly Springs, A Memoir.” Her decision to publish the book came because of the many requests she has received for her photographs. “Arcadia Press only wanted 200 photos for the book. Lord knows I have many more -- I would say at least 1,000,” she laughed.
