"I carried a watermelon."
Name the movie. One of my favorite lines, and often quoted by yours truly. Dirty Dancing. Oops, you were supposed to guess. Well anyway, speaking of watermelon, isn't it a wonderful summertime fruit?! It's so refreshing. In fact, back in my younger days when I was hungover more than I should have been... I would always imagine that I was eating watermelon and it would make me feel better. True story.
Last night I made a Sorbet of fresh fruit, starring watermelon. It was very easy to prepare and good for you too. Would make a nice 4th of July treat for your friends and family. Make sure you wow them with my movie trivia as well.
