Does it work? I don’t know for sure but it would be inexpensive to try! Use a clear bag of water with a penny at the bottom. Why? Click HERE for the complete story.

Sock Bubbles
Cut the bottom off a plastic water bottle. Secure an old gym sock around the bottom with duct tape or a rubberband. Dip the sock into bubble solution and then blow through the top. Fun!
Garden Tic-Tac-Toe
Use 4X4 tiles for the playing area. Paint X’s and O’s onto rocks. So easy idea from Pinterest!
Watermelon Punch Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 oblong seedless watermelon (about 14 pounds)
- 3 cups seltzer
Directions
- Cut top third off watermelon; trim bottom just enough to make a flat surface. Scoop out flesh.
- Working in batches, puree watermelon in a food processor. Strain through a fine sieve; discard solids. (You should have about 9 cups juice.) Cover rind with plastic wrap. Refrigerate juice and rind until chilled, about 1 hour. Combine juice with seltzer; transfer to rind. via
Frito Pie
According to Hungry Gerald: The Frito Pie is constructed of chopped meat on a bed of Fritos flavored with red chile sauce (no, not that stuff in a bottle but a fiery, long simmered sauce made from Hatch chiles.). It is topped with grated American cheese, chopped onions and salsa. As the saying goes: Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
Simpler Version: We’ve always topped our Fritos with Chili and Nacho Cheese for this concession stand favorite. Try it!
