My nice neighbors left a giant watermelon on my door step yesterday. As I cut into it, the thought of sipping on a watermelon martini seemed like the right thing to do. So into the blender went some fleshy pink melon with a little crushed ice then it was poured into a shaker with some vodka, shaken a bit and finally poured into my favorite martini glass. Liquid summer.
Um, I think I may need more vodka.
Today's marker is Marker #13, another one at the Peabody Hotel:

Michelle,
The cocktail looks great, and if I may make a suggestion for some of the remaining watermelon, this Greek recipe is simple, delicious, yet somehow unknown in these parts.
Cheers,
Benito
Is that your "M" cutting board?? :)
Benito,
Thank you and thanks for the recipe. It's funny you sent that along because I have recently seen that salad on the menu at Flight: http://www.flightmemphis.com/menus/Appetizers_04_10_09.pdf
and a different watermelon salad at Felicia Suzanne's

But, I have not tried either so I will run by the store for some mint and feta today.
Olivia - that is not the M cutting board, though I have use it several times.
Very cool!
Looks wonderful!!

K&M,
Thanks for the link to the brothel, um I mean, the hotel you are staying at in beautiful Uzhgorod.
Brothel is not the correct spelling....you have to improve your foreign language skills...

K&M - Have I missed something? What foreign language are you referring to? Brothel is an English word and is correctly spelled.
