Well we all kinda had the same thought on the pie........watermelon should not be made into a pie. It was rubbery and not a lot of flavor. I'm glad I brought the remaining watermelon with me!!!!

I can not imagine how you could make a watermelon pie, but it sounds great. I am on a watermelon "kick" lately. Will you share the recipe?

Me too! I saw something today with watermelon, peaches, some other fruits, lime etc as a shake in the blender.

Thank the good Lord that watermelon is something we can eat!!!

Ok, this is pretty sinful but I'll share anyway:

I cut up almost an entire watermelon and put it in a container with most of a bottle of amaretto. The first day the watermelon taste was strong when you crunched on the watermelon, and the amaretto taste was strong when you sipped on the juice. Each day they melded more. I think I had it in there 5 days total. I've now put the watermelon into separate containers and put the 'juice' in a bottle. It's a very mild amaretto/watermelon liquer thing, lol.

My kids and DH think I'm crazy. But I've always eaten salt on my watermelon and sugar on my tomatoes.

Sure there is. Cut out a small "plug" on the side, pull it out and poke around in there with an icepick. Then, stick a funnel into the hole and slowly pour in Vodka, Rum, or champagne.. come back and refill a few times. Replace the plug and keep on ice for a few hours before serving.

I love it in the blender with a cup of ice, a bit of Water, splenda, and a squirt of fresh lime juice. Whir away and sip it until your heart's content. Now...you will be UP all night in the bathroom! It's a great diuretic! So if it's a restful night you're after...skip the watermelon!:notagree

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
