Green Tea Watermelon-Cucumber Cooler
Tried (and liked) yesterday afternoon:
GREEN TEA WATERMELON-CUCUMBER COOLER
Makes 3 servings
In a pitcher, combine 1 bottle Lipton Natural Diet Green Tea with Watermelon (new flavor; also lovely on its own), 1/2 cup grated cucumber, and 3 oz vodka (optional). Let stand covered at room temperature 30 minutes; strain and chill until ready to serve.

Wipe the skillet clean with a sponge (above), and then wash with soap and hot water.
Find A Shady Spot
I am all about the hats lately. My favorite thing about wearing one: no one can let it go. "Hey...nice hat!" "What a great hat." "Cute hat!" It's like you've tied a gaggle of kittens to your forehead.
Oh, Met Ball / Adore You
I just love the Costume Institute red carpet. This year, I loved it maybe a little less (what's with all the weirdly safe choices and underdressing?) but still. STILL.
