Ice Up


Yesterday when I talked about some signs of impending summer I mentioned freezing watermelon. I thought everyone knew about that, but based on some of the comments I found out I was wrong.

The "recipe" for Frozen Watermelon couldn't be easier:  Cut the fruit into small chunks, place them on a cookie sheet, and freeze.  Store in a plastic bag.   To serve, pour some chunks into a bowl.  Eat them before they thaw; if you don't they're mushy and awful.

They can also be pureed in a blender for a frozen slushy drink  (With optional alcohol for an adult version)

  2. I've never heard of this! I'm going to remember this about mid August when the heat is unbearable! ha.

  3. Thanks for the forgotten highschool memory of injecting a whole watermelon with what amounted to enough vodka to take down the Russian army. And yet it tasted so good! Not sure what happened after we finished it.....
