FUN FOOD FRIDAY

The other day I was watching the Food Network, and they featured a restaurant called Black Tap which has some truly insane milkshake recipes!  If you have the skills to make these at home, or want to take a road trip to New York to check them out for yourself, you won't be disappointed at these over the top culinary delights!
Can you eat this?
$14 Each

Though the restaurant is becoming well known nationally for these outrageous shakes, Black Tap is actually featured on The Top 10 List in Manhattan for their burgers, so you know I am already a happy camper!  But if you're just in the mood for something fun, these crazy drinks will set you back $15, vs  just $7 for their regular shakes.





WATERMELON SHOOTERS W/SORBET
Don't you just adore watermelon? This recipe is super simple to make, and everyone will love how it tastes! Cut a watermelon into slices which are about an inch thick.. Then use a round 1-inch cookie cutter to cut out cylinders. Scoop the centers out of the watermelon cylinders with a melon baller. Fill with small scoops of your favorite sorbet, like lime, strawberry, etc., and garnish with a Mint or Basil Leaf.Freeze until firm - about 1 hour, then you're all set.  Keep some of these in the fridge for when the kids come home, or guests come over. Pinterest

SEA-DOO
Have you ever heard of this type of boat?  Technically, it's called a personal watercraft.  I saw it on an edition of Let's Make a Deal when a an aeronautic engineer from Michigan won it. A friend of mine can't swim, but insisted he would still ride this boat if he won it as a prize. OK.


Then he reminded me that he would take his phone along for the trip and keep it in his swim trunks, just in case. When I asked him what "just in case what?" meant exactly, he told me if that if the boat capsized, or he became stranded, the phone would sure come in handy. Inquiring minds are wondering if you'd take your phone on a ski boat ride?

  1. I can't even look at those milkshakes, so I doubt I would be able to eat them. whatever happen plan old vanilla or just strawberry? this is probably why I don't try new food. can't food just look like food anymore?

    don't people carry their phone everywhere with them? isn't everyone attach to their phones like a third arm?

    have a lovely summer.

  3. Watermelon shooters sound really good. I love banana splits and milkshakes, I don't make them nearly enough.

    1. When I was a kid, I adored banana splits, but now it's too much for me to handle. I do love trying different flavored shakes, but when i saw this, I thought it was really over the top! Hugs...RO

    1. I'm with you. I don't think I would take mine either. Too many things could happen. I'm a little bit daring when it comes to milkshakes, so I would give it a try, but with something this big, I'm not sure I could finish it. Hugs...

  6. Silly to even call those milkshakes. I like all the components of them but eh on the set up. I'd rather have it on a plate and not so messy. I know I'm a total killjoy! lol
