Is there any way to eat watermelon besides just chilled and cut up? I can't think of any way to use it except in it's natural, raw, form. MMmmmmmmmm.

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 watermelon too! I had some yesterday but since I am still in the mushy stage I had to use the chew and spit method. TMI? Sure did taste good, though!
Hope

I would think that watermelon would be classified as a mushie. It practically turns to water in your mouth.
I've had watermelon accidentally freeze before - its like frozen lettuce, icky.
Anyone eat salt on their watermelon?
My mouth is watering now. Guess I'll be going to the store soon... AFTER I go walking with Linda V who is being a good friend and dragging my arse outside today! :clap2:

Ohhh.. oh my. That sounds all kinds of good.
I've been making fruit salads lately with strawberries, red grapes, kiwi, banana, canned mandarin oranges and pineapple. No sugar or sweetners on that. Oh my! A huge bowl of that doesn't last long in this house. I get about 1/2 cup and the rest is gone.
Oops... did I just hijack this thread? So sorry.
Watermellon and red grape juice. *drools* Sounds so yummy.
