Baby Boomer Queen’s Watermelon Sorbet
July 4, 2008
Easy Watermelon Sorbet
Pick the kind of watermelon you like best…I like the NON~seedless watermelons. I am an old fashioned girl and the seeds are easy to pick out.I think they are sweeter and have a better flavor.
I always make sure the watermelon is icy cold when I make sorbet because the freezing time is less.
Cut your watermelon cut and/or save the rind for Pickled Watermelon Rind later.
Ingredients:
8 cups cubed (1 inch) watermelon, seeds and rind discarded
1 cup Simple Sugar Syrup
(this is nothing but 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar brought to a boil…let set 5 minutes to cool.Leftovers can be stored or frozen to save)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
(you can also grate some of the rind into your sorbet if you like lime) Read more
Cross Country Flight In A Lawn Chair-Liftoff Saturday
July 4, 2008
Third attempt for a 300 mile LAWN CHAIR VOYAGE, with helium balloons…makes the news…
Kent Couch is set to launch his third attempt to fly more than 300 miles from central Oregon to Boise Idaho, aboard his lawn chair, which will be attached to 150 giant latex party balloons filled with helium. This fantastic mid-air flight or voyage will happen July 5Th, 2008.
Me, I would have chosen a blow up “couch” since that is what his name is and filled it with helium PLUS the balloons. But, I am a Baby Boomer that loves comfort!
Now Baby Boomers, get this…he has his wife’s blessings, a corporate sponsor ( probably not his life insurance agent), and a team of volunteers ( perhaps from the EMS…I am not sure).

Lift off will be from his gas station, in Oregon, which might explain a few things. Read more
