Watermelon Baby Stroller

  

Tonight I cut out a watermelon baby stroller for tomorrow's baby shower. It was easy and fun. The only thing I did wrong is cut too much off of the bottom. oops

It only took few minutes to cut out the shape but took awhile to scoop out the watermelon. I used the melon scooper to do it. If you want to do it faster, you can just cut out into pieces.

Grilled Shrimps

Ingredients

• shrimps with shell on

The night before I soaked shrimps in olive oil with salt and pepper and added a little bit of sesame oil.
