Well, if Papayas weren’t juicy enough all by themselves, it’s National Papaya Month in September! The papaya is a really amazing fruit, some getting to be over 19 inches in length.

Confused as to what the heck Superfine Sugar is, and why it’s necessary at all? Well, superfine sugar is known to be used when making candies, canning, brining and other specialty applications.

When I purchased this watermelon, it passed all of my “inspections”. It sounded dense & watery when tapped, it was a good size, no blemishes… Brought it home, cut into it and it looked amazing. Mostly rich, pink flesh, no seeds and minimal rind.  When I bit into it, I was sadly disappointed by the lack of sweetness and slight mushiness it presented us with. So, I decided to juice it into my fire & water juice...

My hubby and I made it out to Bahama Buck’s last night for a tasty drink after our dinner. We’d never been there before and didn’t know what to expect. For those of you who haven’t been there before, they only serve cold or frozen drinks, ices and some ice cream stuff. Since we ate some fried food for dinner, we decided to get something with less fat and decided on a shaved ice beverage – super sour...
