Arachnid Fruit Salad

Ingredients:
- 1 small watermelon
- 1 pineapple
- 2 cups grapes
- 1 honeydew melon
- 16 ounces strawberries
- 22 stalks asparagus

Preparation:
Supplies:
1. Melon baller.
2. Toothpicks.
3. Light green Floral tape.
4. Floral wire.

Decorative Direction:
1. This is actually a very easy project and doesn't take much time, it's also a seriously show stopping centerpiece for any spring or summer table. I normally don't like having inedible elements in my projects, but the wire and floral tape were the only methods I could think of to bring this time sensitive creation to life. Maybe in the future (once I have more fruit-art experience) I'll have a better tip!
2. I made the legs two days before and kept them in the fridge. The rest was assembled right before being photographed. For the legs, cut asparagus into desired proportions making sure the top will be the feet of your spider. Connect pieces by skewering them together using 3 inches of floral wire and then binding each joint with floral tape. I had my niece help me with this by holding the pieces in place while I bound each joint.
3. Hollow out the watermelon and cut a flat slice out of the underside so it doesn't roll away. Fill the hollowed-out watermelon with cut up fresh fruit and top off with honeydew melon cut into balls with a melon baller!
4. Assemble your spider centerpiece before company arrives and in the location you want it displayed. Once assembled it will not be movable unless done on a large platter.
5. Cut a pineapple in half lengthwise and then in half. Then cut out an angled crescent in the back so it fits snuggly against your watermelon. Cut several grapes in varying sizes in half. Break a toothpick in half and attach grapes to the pineapples face (for the eyes of the spider).
6. Attach the legs and feelers by cutting out holes in the pineapple and inserting the asparagus legs. Serve!

Sun Tea

Ingredients:
- 4 family-size tea bags (I know some people prefer one brand over the other, so you can decide which you prefer)
- 1 1/4 cups sugar or 1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute (or sugar/Splenda mix)
- water, to fill container
- lemon wedge, for garnish

Preparation:
You will also need:
1. 1 gallon container or jug, with a screw on lid.
2. About 9am, fill your pitcher with the water, and tea bags.
3. The reason for the screw on top, is so that ants don't get to the tea.
4. Let the tea sit in the sun for most of the day, a prime full sun location is best.
5. When bringing the tea in, boil one cup, and then mix it with the sugar (but, in the summer, the heat from outside can be enough to dissolve the sugar).
6. Boiling the cup of tea only helps to make dissolving the sugar easier.
7. Combine the sugar, tea, and more water to make one gallon.
8. Serve with thick 1 1/2" wedges of lemon.
9. It usually takes 4-6 hours of being in the sun, in order to steep.
10. You can eye ball the tea, and bring it in, after the tea looks dark enough.
11. Since the tea is best served cold, put it in the fridge right away.
12. It does not last as long as boiled tea for some reason.
13. And I usually leave the tea bags in the jug until the tea is gone.
14. Then, I take the tea bags and sprinkle them in my flower garden, or over my roses.
