I'm baaaack! :)
Finally, after days of cloudy, windy, rainy weather, we have some sun! WOO! So, I decided to grill for dinner. We had a giant papaya and pineapple laying in the fruit bowl, so I threw together this wonderful chilled fruit soup to go with the grilled entree. And, since we ended up with a ton of alcohol after the wedding, I thought I'd add some rum into the mix to give it a little kick. Cuz I'm like that. ;) By substituting cashew cream for dairy, this soup gives you all the creamy goodness while avoiding the unhealthy fats. How could we go wrong?
This recipe was so fun to throw together. I had friends over for dinner and they were amazed at how quickly it turned into yummy goodness! I love entertaining. :D

Wow, I never knew you could use the seeds!!! I love papaya - I eat it everyday with my breakfast, but I think I am going to have to try this! Maybe even when we have friends over. You never cease to amaze me, really! :)
Glad you are back!
Thanks, Jenn! The seeds are great in small quantities. They taste vaguely like black pepper, very slightly bitter, but have a toxin that can cause lower pulse rate in large quantities. So, I use only a little from time to time. :)
Huh! So cool! Thanks for the tip. I will try a few next time.
This looks so pretty in the martini glass!
Vegan? Papaya? RUM?
OK I'm totally sold on this. Good show.
