ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm loving that Watermelons are local here (now that we're in Florida) this time of year. Thanks for the link to cooking for two" blog. My kids are middle-aged now (yikes) but if I don't really think about it, it is still more natureal to cook enough for an army when it's just us.
ReplyDeletethat one Water Mellon carved was just incredible, I did not realize at first what I was seeing
ReplyDeleteYUM! This sounds wonderful! And it's hot today so...I'll be right over. :)

Thanks for linking to Tuesday Tastes! This looks so refreshing! I love watermelon and can't wait to try it this way!
ReplyDeleteLooks so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove the watermelon. We grow watermelon in Mexico, so I'm always interested in different watermelon recipes.
ReplyDeleteThe watermelon ad with the salt is interesting. I love salt with my watermelon and from what I understand this is very "southern".
Nice posting!

Love it, Joy - and it will be ever so much healthier than the "who knows what's in here?" slushy drinks that Maya wants at the convenience store!
ReplyDeleteThe slush sounds yummy! That watermelon case is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, refreshing summer drink :)
ReplyDeleteOh man - I looked at frozen raspberries when I was at Trader Joe's today and I didn't buy them. I did buy watermelon though. If only I'd known you'd be posting this delightful recipe. Rats! But thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so cool and yummy...and that first photo got my tastebuds going...I haven't had a watermelon that red and sweet looking in years! :)
ReplyDeleteLove watermelon! And those little suitcases are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy rednesday--I love watermellon--had some last night for a snack. I love fruit drinks, but just made with fruit! Yours looks tempting though!
ReplyDeleteSounds yum! My very dear friend Rose is from a watermelon farming family. LOVE those fresh from the fields melons :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

ReplyDeleteI remember that Morton Salt ad, so sweet! Now, I am hungry for watermelon!! Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteSaw that watermellon suitcase and I was hooked, now where can I find a suitcase like that to transform. Happy VTT to you!
