[SkateDC] Sunday (6/27/10) Intermediate Skate Route

Tue Jun 22 14:42:28 PDT 2010

Yes, it does!  Thanks, Nini!

Hmmmm, watermelon, water, Popsicles...

I wonder.... do they make watermelon flavored Popsicles?

They do!  They do!

The watermelon seeds are little chunks of crunchy chocolate.  You can order them online from Alabama, but good gracious they're expensive.  Shipping something frozen from Alabama to DC in the middle of summer ain't cheap.  I guess you're paying for the battery-powered mini freezers that they ship them in ;-)

Here's the recipe for any DIY'ers out there who're craving watermelon Popsicles:
