I ball up melon, or buy a couple of pounds of Italian cookies from a bakery.

Take a whole watermelon.
Cut a hole in it.
Put a vodka 100proof bottle opened up into the hole upside down, and set it in the fridge overnight.
Slice it up at the party.

Honestly, I've had this and I think it's a terrible thing to do to a watermelon. It doesn't taste good and most people will be disappointed to find it's not just a yummy watermelon.


To each their own, but I cannot take anyone over 10 who uses the word yummy seriously.

It’s not quite watermelon season, next month. Do strawberries, they’re in season.

In addition to brownies and cookies, offer some fresh fruit or fruit salad. I am surprised at how well fruit is received by the adults as well as the kids.

Lemon bars or chocolate chip cookies

A simple cake that can be sliced and served easily, like a pound cake

Brownies are always a hit

What do you make for dessert for a bbq? I usually do something very easy like brownies and ice cream. I don’t want to make a pie. I don’t love desserts from Whole Foods. Would love ideas!
