Cantaloupe Salty Dog: My Diary of Us

Cantaloupe Salty Dog

Give me all the melons.  I am currently eating cantaloupe and watermelon like I'll never see another one in my entire life.  They are so sweet and candy like and lately they have been saving me from binging on things like sour patch kids...true story.  Of course that's the preggers in me talking.  If I wasn't pregnant however, I would be sipping on one of my cantaloupe salty dogs as often as I could because it just might be the perfect summer cocktail!

I grew up salting my melons.  That's the way all of the women in my family do it.  "It brings out the flavor", my mom would always tell me.  And you know what?  She was right.  It really does make any melon extra delicious.  Canean thinks I am crazy and has never hopped on the salted melon band wagon.  But, that's okay...he doesn't know what he's missing!

Cherry French 75: My Diary of Us

Cherry French 75

Summer has arrived guys.  The heat is rising and it is HOT out there.  Our poor air conditioner hasn't been able to take a break and I wish I could tell it how much this pregnant lady appreciates being able to stay cool.  The thought of going to buy a baby pool to put on the back porch for me to sit in, maybe with ice surrounding me, is becoming more and more appealing with each passing day.  The only other thing that makes Summer more tolerable is a refreshing cocktail which is totally necessary in order to survive the heat.  I'll have to stick to mocktails for now, but for you...for you I bring you the cherry French 75!  Perfectly refreshing and summery, and sure to help you forget about your sweat drenched bra.

And don't pretend that you don't know about the sweat drenched bra.  It's a thing, and there isn't anything sexy about it.  For you guys who probably aren't wearing bras, I'm sure you can still relate!  Good thing for you if you are holding one of these cocktails, not only will you forget about your sweltering body, but others around you will too.
