Freezer Drink

I don't know how many of you out there have ever placed a can of pop in the freezer. I do it all the time. It is so cooling and refreshing, especially when experiencing the high 90's and low 100's.

Thing is...sometimes I forget to remember to go get it out of the freezer before the can explodes. I always set the timer on the microwave to remind me. I usually wait 20 minutes. Makes a nice frosty drink.

This time, as things go, I was at the back of the house when the microwave beeped. I was distracted and didn't hear it. It wasn't until later when I opened the freezer door and the pop rolled out and onto the floor. To my relief, the can didn't burst! I've had them explode in the freezer before. Not pretty. I wasn't brave enough to open that one. So, I put a new one in the freezer. I had to wait 20 minutes again. It was still worth it.

Ingredients

Original recipe makes 8 servings       

Makes servings USMetricAdjust Recipe (Help)

1 cantaloupe, halved and seeded                                       

1/2 c white sugar, or more to taste

 2 c milk    

 6 c cold water, or more as needed                    

Directions

1. Shred the cantaloupe into a large pitcher using a fork, making sure to catch all the juice and pulp. Stir in the sugar, mashing any large pieces of cantaloupe. Stir in the milk and water, adding enough to fill the pitcher. Serve cold.

Footnote

 

• This drink is best served ice cold. Serve in a tall glass with a spoon so you can eat the little chunks of melon as you drink the liquid. You could skip the step of shredding the fruit with the fork and just throw it all in the blender, but you wouldn't get the yummy chunks (which to me is the best part!) The amount of sugar listed is a guideline. Adjust to how sweet your melon is/your personal taste. I hope you enjoy this delicious drink!

White table and chairs we might paint yellow and blue

Aching legs

Yesterday, My hubby and I drove to Ogden to get these really old metal chairs. We are going to paint them. Green I think. We are still trying to decide.

I'm really excited to see how the backyard will come together. We have been going to yard sales and picking up old furniture. I think the table and chairs we picked up will get pained baby yellow and blue.

We Don't have the energy or funds to get much this year, but we are on our way.

On our way to Ogden my legs were hurting. I kept them elevated to help, but the pain just kept creeping up on me. By the evening I could hardly stand. I was putting heat pads on my legs and laying down.

When I woke up this morning, my dear hubby went to hand me my pills, and I realized I didn't take them yesterday. I keep forgetting to take my medications. I have my phone set so an alarm goes off, but if I don't have pockets or water near, I wait. Then I forget.

Grown Ups 2

I was meeting some friends for the afternoon show. I knew I needed to leave in time for the 4:15 show. I was easily distracted and didn't remember to leave on time. I arrived with a few previews to spare.

Well, went to see the movie Grown Ups 2. The movie was exactly the type of entertainment that I expected from this group. A lot of burping, farting, peeing, boobs. As my son said, a movie my husband would enjoy.

I did laugh, a great deal. I went for that purpose. I wouldn't want my youngsters to see this movie. Teenagers are good.
