I’m back. For real. Specifically, in a lovely apartment in Brooklyn with tons of light and a fantastic kitchen. After the bike trip and the ranch, Phil and I bravely attempted to survive living in the suburbs while we looked for jobs and an affordable apartment. For the record, I really hate commuting on Metro North and I am much happier to deal with NYC’s subways and buses. Regardless, I’m cooking/baking again and will be posting up pics and recipes soon. In the meantime, take a look at the new kitchen and examine the fliers for two upcoming MiG shows for this week. One is a crazy loft party (BYOB style) and the other is Stereoactive/Hot Rocks party with a ton of good bands and drink specials and free beer. Whoo!
It’s been too hot in NYC to cook or bake really. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it - not so fast. There are some things that I’ve made that should have been posted a while ago, but remember, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity…or something.
I present to you the Watermelon Boozer. Perfect for sipping on a terribly moist day. You can even omit the booze, but it’s not as fun.
Watermelon Boozer
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped up seedless watermelon that’s been in the fridge a few hours
6 ice cubes
as much vodka as you can handle
To Do:
Put the ice cubes in a blender or food processor and blend a bit.
Add the watermelon and vodka and keep blending until you get a nice slushy consistency. Add more ice, watermelon or vodka as needs be.
This is not a crazy recipe and will serve two people - or one very hot person.
