How to Make a Watermelon Stroller

Step One: When your best friend gets knocked up, throw her a baby shower.

Step Two: Buy a nice large watermelon.

Step Three: Draw your pattern on the watermelon putting a handle on one end and a scalloped bassinette overhang on the other.

Step Four: Using a sharp serrated knife, cut out the top portion.

Step Five: Using a melon baller, (I've always wanted to use this word in a blog post) scoop out some nice round balls of watermelon. When you have enough for some fruit salad, you can use a large spoon to scoop out the rest.

Step Six: Mix the watermelon with balled cantaloup and red and green grapes. Add back into the stroller.

Step Seven: Add the wheels by inserting two wooden skewers through the watermelon at each end. Attach some sliced oranges for wheels and grapes for hubcaps.

A little cheesy? Yes, but a big hit as well. You can also watch this great video demonstration.

Lora and I hosted a couples baby shower last night for our BFF Holly. We had quite a tasty little spread of food. Lora made some Morroccan chicken the likes of which we are still drooling over. I plan on making it my new favorite dish. I might have to make it weekly. But until I get the recipe, you will have to settle for balled fruit salad. There I was able to use a variation of the word balls at least 5 times in this entry. I am satisfied. You can go now.
