Without a doubt the best purchase I’ve made this summer is our sno cone maker. I keep these great natural fruit concentrates in the fridge and we can just come home, pop a few ice cubes in and voila — an icy, refreshing sweet treat in seconds with no added sugar.
The best part of having the sno cone maker is that we’re not limited to pre-made flavors. A little fresh fruit and simple syrup is all it takes to make our own custom flavors. This watermelon version was fabulous, and oh so simple. I happened to have vanilla simple syrup on hand, you could use any flavored or even herb-infused simple syrup to up the sophistication factor. But if you’re just craving a simple fruity slushie, watermelon and a little sugar are all you need.
Recipe: Watermelon Slushie (or Sno Cone)
Ingredients:
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1/4 cup simple syrup*
- shaved ice
Instructions: Load watermelon into your blender. Add simple syrup, cover and puree until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve. Then, fill a glass or sno cone cup with shaved ice, pour watermelon syrup over and enjoy! Makes about a half quart of syrup.
* To make simple syrup: Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. When it begins to boil, remove from heat and let cool. (You can add a vanilla bean half or a handful of basil or mint after removing from heat to add flavor.) Store leftover syrup in the fridge — and use for iced tea, coffee or cocktails.

Most household goods movers provide free quotes for their
services. A new Interstate protocol could be needed to allow convoys to
build in the left lane. Moving from one place to other would
not have been such a difficult task had not the number of things that needed
to be moved being so overwhelming.

These forms require you to have an employer identification number.
Of course, it spirals from there if you have 1099 income or use additional schedules,
such as income from a business, like Schedule C.
This can eventually lead them to the courts, which would
spend them a lot more instead of just hiring a team
of financial experts, professionals who would work hard to give them the business reports, analysis
and assessments they need.

However, rhinoplasty can markedly improve your appearance if

with it are very apparent to other folks simply because of its vantage position proper in front
of the face. Their training and experience make them better qualified to perform plastic surgery

Several recent studies have shown Proscar is effective for hair loss and can help regrow some hair on some people, but as I said before,
the use of 5AR inhibitors only deals with a part of the problem and are generally not very
effective when used as the only treatment. You can choose among the
natural remedies, cosmetic products and surgery, and the medications.
Using natural treatment for hair loss just makes good sense.

You should remember that when you choose a penis enlargement device, you must check the
materials that were used in order to ensure
your safety. Type the suitable keywords, for example,
when you are searching information related to “
Male Enhancement” or “Male Penis Enhancement” then your keywords can be “Male Enhancement Options” or “Male Penis Enhancement Options”.
It all begins in your brain, the moment your memory recognizes a name, or a title, or an image, your mind immediately
associates it to something known.
