Frozen Grapes and Keeping Cool
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011Seriously, they’re already calling this the Heat Wave of 2011. They’ll probably make a movie of the week out of it. Ummm…. nah, I won’t say it. Needless to say I’ve been through 100 degree weather before, and lived to tell the tale.
No recipe here…. just throw those puppies into the freezer for a couple of hours and you’re all set. I like frozen grapes better than ice cream, and I really love ice cream. A lot. Also, they’re a little more figure friendly, and you won’t feel guilty letting the kids gorge themselves. I’m working on a more complicated frozen treat, but I won’t know how it turns out until later this evening when I pull it out of the freezer. If all goes well, I’ll have a frozen watermelon margarita for you by the weekend.
My family and I are managing to stay cool, but the animals are having to find their own ways to cope. The family cat just plays dead all day.
And the chickens have been hanging out under the lilac bushes and playing in the sprinkler.
