I think this is mindless chat. I actually got a decent night's sleep, so you'd think I wouldn't be too brain dead to figure it out, but....there are 2 threads.

I really want some honeydew melon this morning.

I really want some honeydew melon this morning.

For Tina, today's Tiki Bar pick:

Honeydew Melon Bellini

Ingredients:

5 cups of diced honeydew melon, about ½ of a large melon

2 tbs lime juice

Sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the melon

1 bottle of chilled prosecco, champagne, cava or other sparkling wine

Preparation:

1. Combine the diced honeydew melon with the lime juice and sugar in a blender and blend until you obtain a smooth puree.
2. Strain the puree, chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
3. Pour the honeydew melon puree into champagne flutes, no more than half full.
4. Add the prosecco or other sparkling wine, pouring it gently to avoid making a bubbly mess.
5. Stir lightly and serve immediately.

I figured this would be a good one if we're all going to start drinking before noon.

I'll take one of those Deb!

TGIF!!!  Why is it the short weeks always seem to last the longest.  We have some fun plans this weekend.  Tomorrow are the Zucchini races at the library where Riley has to make a car out of a zucchini and race it.  That should be fun.  We haven't done it before, so we will see how it goes.  Sunday is her 1st official riding lesson and she keeps talking about it. 

Other than that I have got to get organized for when we are gone.  I feel so behind, although I know if I had to I could be packed in 20 minutes   Hopefully, I will get the see the turtles too!!!

What a pretty drink!  I'll have two to start. :) 

Deb, you could have warned us about the photo you posted.  I don't need any more coffee after seeing that!  lol

Utensils, drinking, cooking, rubbing.  I'm going home...

Wow - a lot going on for a Friday. I'll take a couple of those drinks. Thinking about Karen on vacation has made me yearn for a getaway. I'm just glad that it still looks and feels like summer here. I woudn't mind if it cooled down a little though.

I may be working my tail off on the 3 days I work but it all feels worthwhile when I'm off on Friday. I think I'm going to take Shane to PetCo today. I want to pick up a few things and I'm hoping it'll be less busy than when I took him to PetSmart.
