"Ever had a drink of watermelon wine?" he asked
He told me all about it, though I didn't answer back
"Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime,
But old dogs and children and watermelon wine."

Today's micro-batch: Watermelon Wine
Just a smidge.
Othewise it is the same as the strawberry...water...sugar and I used choice chunks of the watermelon heart to add more flavor.
Covered with cheesecloth to ferment...and now we wait.
It will be ready to strain and clarify...and the first tasting in about 2 weeks.
It will be finished by the end of July.
Just 4 cups.
(...what is more perfect than Watermelon Wine for July???)
The Fairy Garden micro-green seeds have sprouted now!
Love the look, and hope they stay tiny.
Have been trying to come up with a great Summer Virtual Adventure and have decided to check out my friend Gail's Safari and Camp in Maun, Botswana.
Maybe we can do the entire continent of Africa at the beginning of next year!
Ellies and Lions and Wildebeasts
Safari
Some local recipes...camp chow/braii
A Smattering of Afrikkans

Come along!
