This could have been such a quick and easy post.
Three ingredients! Plus water. It takes about ten minutes to make. I could have written this blog post in record time.
But then it sort of turned into a circular tale. (If you've ever read the children's book If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, you know what I'm talking about.)
It all started when I thought I'd make a pitcher of agua fresca.
Which made me think of Mexico. Circa 1986.
Which made me wonder if I had taken any pictures of agua fresca during my long-ago Mexican vacations.
Which made me dig out a couple of old photo albums filled with pictures from vacations to Cancun and Acapulco.
No pictures of agua fresca, but there was this picture of my poolside drink served in a watermelon.
Which made me think of the abundance of tropical fruit that my friends and I ate on that trip to Cancun. Imagine our surprise on our first night there, at dinner, when our waiter placed a hollowed-out pineapple loaded with fruit in front of each of us. It was simply described as a "fruit cup" on the appetizer menu.
Which made me think of how much fun that trip to Cancun was. So much fun that I wanted to go back to Mexico for my honeymoon the following year, to Acapulco.
Thinking of Acapulco made me think of the goofy little Mexican teddy bear I won shooting hoops.
Which made me think about how sweaty I was shooting hoops in Mexico on my honeymoon.
Which reminded me that I want to make a pitcher of agua fresca.
