Brownies and Vodka Watermelon

For starters, I apologize for not posting the recipe links in the last blog. I wasn't even thinking about that! Hah. So, I'll post those with the link to the recipe for the red velvet cheese cake brownies Cait and I just made. I know, I know, my last two posts have been food. I'm on a kick, what can I say? I blame the fact school is about to start, and I'm afraid I won't have time to bake then.

The red velvet cheesecake brownie!

I know it looks a little bit gross because Cait and I had a slight malfunction going on with the cake pan, but it tastes wonderful, and that's what counts, right? Basically, I grabbed what I thought was a 9x13 pan, but it was in fact an 8.5x12.5 pan. What the heck. I knew when I was filling the pan it was too thick, but I kept going any way, and bam! It flooded in the oven. Not to fear, Cait and I are quick thinkers. We basically took it out of the oven, scooped out batter into a smaller pan, and put the two back in the oven. Viola! It was fixed. The only downside was the brownies aren't as pretty, but who cares? Not me.



I also wanted to tell you guys about the frozen watermelon vodka watermelon chunks. Yes. Those were as wonderful as they sound. Katie and I made these one night before we went to a friends' house. She bought a seedless watermelon, cut it up into chunks, and then we dipped them in watermelon flavored vodka and put them in the freezer. So. Good. We soaked them in quite a bit of vodka, but you really couldn't taste it. I mean, the watermelon flavored vodka itself is heavenly, but that's just me. We also found that if take shots of watermelon vodka and bit into a chunk of vodka watermelon after, it's absolutely wonderful. Try it. You'll love it. If you like watermelon and vodka that is...although the persons house we were at doesn't like clear liquor or fruity things, and even he loved it. Therefore, you should try it.
