Start this weekend and plan to serve at your next Au Revoir Covid, Hello Summer Watermelon dinner. If you make a batch of infused watermelon vodka now, it will give you something to celebrate when this covid-ness is not the topic of our day.

Why do you need Auvoir Covid, Hello Summer Watermelon?

By the way, when will we be able to say au revoir to covid? No one really knows at this point. Today you will find as many opinions about all aspects of the virus as sand on the beach. It does not matter whether you are talking about origination, proper protection, best practices or how the hell do we make it go away.

Everyone would love for it to magically evaporate if only this was an option. Until then, we must find a way to function in our daily lives and stay safe. Ignoring a pandemic or pretending that your age, health, economic status or even location will protect you alone is foolish. Everyone is at risk. Be safe.

Remember to stay safe during Covid haze

To eliminate risk you will need to follow guidelines, stay alert, pay attention to surroundings and limit unnecessary exposures. Even if you do everything correct, you may still acquire the contagion. The risk has not evaporated but with best practices we should be able to avoid it.

Clearly, I am not hiding in my house but trying to be smart about my choices. One day soon I hope, all of this covid-ness will be a thing of the past. My Hoda Kotb project is helping with the day to day of covid. Until then, buy a watermelon from your local farmer or farmers market and start a batch of Au Revoir Covid, Hello Summer Watermelon.

This year, I added my watermelon to a 5 gallon beverage dispenser. Any time I want to sample the fruits of my labor Au Revoir Covid, Hello Summer Watermelon is ready to go. One vintage cocktail glass filled with ice, turn on the spigot and report directly to the porch.

Right now the porch is quiet and dreams of livelier days. Hopefully soon the porch and I will host a reason to celebrate with Au Revoir Covid, Hello Summer Watermelon . Until then, enjoy this new song, Living in a Ghost Town.

Shout out to Alexa for the newest Rolling Stones song.

“You can look for me
But I can’t be found
You can search for me
I had to go underground
Life was so beautiful
Then we all got locked down
Feel a like ghost
Living in a ghost town, yeah”
