Now That's Refreshment!

Watermelon is on sale this week! Hooray! I literally can eat a whole watermelon by myself, given a few hours. We eat it by the slice, by the spoonful, make popsicles out of them, and yesterday we made watermelon slushies. Deee-licious! They will taste sooo good in the heat of summer. Try it, you'll like it!

Put about 4 cups of watermelon in the blender and blend for a few seconds to make some room. Then fill the blender up with ice cubes (about two trays) and set the blender to "ice crush." We loved it just like that, but I've seen variations that involved using lemonade or lime juice with a touch of sugar.

And if you really just can't figure out what to do with your watermelon, you can always try the lost art of Viking watermelon carving.

Apparently watermelon carving is all the rage on cruise ships and at resorts. Never would have guessed! I found watermelon flowers, but they just couldn't compare with the watermelon Viking and his cute little banana horns!
