Why?
First: I wore this to the grocery store today. I’ve finally satisfied my recent and intense desire to wear stripes.
Anyways, I had to buy another watermelon because of my next point.
Second: Mr. Wood and I are addicted to the Watermelon Milkshake. To be honest I winced when I first saw the recipe. Water+melon+milk seems wrong. But I was desperate to use up a less-than-delicious and more-than-ripe watermelon we had. So I whipped it up for dinner. Mr. Wood almost died because he apparently grew up on watermelon milk. Who knew?
Want to know the truth?
It is delicious.
Like, forget nostalgia, and it is still delicious. We are having it again tonight. That makes 3 times in 2 weeks guys.
It is freezing cold, fresh, creamy, light and probably healthy. I don’t know guys. And it is the most glorious pink color.
Watermelon Milk Shake: Serves 2
3ish cups of chopped watermelon
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
up to 1 tbsp sugar
*Freeze watermelon chunks beforehand on a cookie sheet so they don’t stick together.
1. Put ingredients in a blender.
2. Blend that fool up
3. Add more milk/sugar to taste

I can tell you that it is healthy. I've been doing weight watchers for about 2 months now, and I looked up how many points that would be. Before adding milk and sugar to taste it would only be 4 points for the whole thing! And I'm assuming it makes enough for two. That's pretty darn healthy. It sounds delicious! 'll have to try it sometime.
