Liquor Pops

What do you mean August is over?! I still haven't made popsicles. A friend made the most amazing popsicles that consisted of watermelon, champagne, vodka and mint. Yum! I saw her a week later and she had fresh batch made with peaches. I've been meaning to make them all summer! Somehow I find time to blog, but can't find time to freeze fruit and liquor. Seriously, check out the Bloody Mary popsicles. You could add alcohol to any of these and have an instant party. Sounds like a project for this weekend. Do you have any Labor Day weekend projects?

Yellow Meated Watermelon

What is this strange fruit? It may be orange but it's called is yellow meated watermelon. It looks like cantaloupe and tastes like sweet summer watermelon. My sister found it at a farmers market in Statesboro, GA and when she said it wouldn't be red on the inside I didn't believe her. From a girl who has been experimenting with red carrots and purple potatoes I guess I can't be too surprised. The watermelon somehow skipped any bad quality possible. It is sweeter than I expected, has hardly any seeds and makes a perfect snack.

I keep seeing new ways to try watermelon. From summer cocktails to chilled summer soups and salsa. I am dying to try something different. Have you attempted a new recipe this summer? Recommendations are welcome!
