Pineapple Melony Punch

I have been missing in action right for a while...that's because we went to California...it was a dream vacation for me...I have never visited this beautiful state....it was awesome!! We all had a great time visiting Sea World, Disney, Golden Gate bridge and topped it all with a visit to my H's cousin's house...the kids had a whale of time. Unlike in India we hardly get to meet our close relatives and friends...hence, I felt it was extra special....my son is looking forward to meet his cousins soon at our place.
Take a glimpse of the photos from our trip!!

I regaled all that had happened when I was missing in action....it is a week since we got back but I am still trying to get things settled at home (or should I say...am trying to come back to my world of kitchen after a week long sojourn of eating out and enjoying....I should say am still relaxing and taking things little bit slowly....the trip was truly enchanting!!!)....

I wanted to post something about the trip last week itself but that would have been a treat for your eyes.. I wanted to top it with something mouth watering...hence I drag myself from the couch (should I say couch potato) to make something to boost my energy....I love watermelon hence....this drink to "rev up my energy"!!

Take a bowl of cut water melon, 1/2 a Tin of Canned Pine-apple, 2 Tbspn Sugar and water. Blend it together....it really gets you going....

I am sure this zing drink will wake me up from the world of dreams (slumber) ....looking forward to doing much more interesting recipes soon....and do you guys know...July 14, 2009 was the day I posted my first recipe....It is almost an year.....with the wishes from viewers like you I would like to step into year two...I realized that is not so easy to keep the blog going.....I enjoy doing it but really tough, time consuming to keep it alive and happening....kudos to all the bloggers ...not sure how they manage doing it!! Thanks to all you guys for your continuous patronage!

Pine, Apple & Orange Punch

My sis has been asking me to come up with refreshing juices for the summer.. I kept postponing it since we haven't had any signs of summer yet in Mid West...The month of May has not been as great as March or April...it has been cold and raining. She inspired me to make this excellent drink and helped me in finding a way for using the dole pineapple (I have couple of more tins in my pantry...and I need to find a solution for using them too in the near future)....you know what ... her brithday is around the corner..so "Cheers to my beloved sis for her birthday" ...this is going to be an extra special birthday for her since she will be celebrating it with her husband (the first one after her wedding)!!

I do not have much to say about it - used a can of dole pineapple chunks, 2 mandarin oranges, 1 apple, 3 tbspn sugar and water....blended it together.....passed it through the strainer to remove the pulp...actually I do not like throwing away the pulp and since I grinded it well I did not get that much of a pulp (just quarter cup...) ...enzoi a glass of goodness....quench your thirst this summer after a stroll to a near by park!
