No real recipes this week---not feeling up to snuff lately--nothing serious just one of those weeks--

anyway, seedless watermelon has been on sale for $3.99 for the whole thing!! Love it but don't have the knack for getting a good one---now I order my groceries to be shopped then delivered---can't carry a whole watermelon around anymore--so am depending on some else to pick one out---I know----what are the chances I get a good one???? But they have been WONDERFUL!!! I just didn't get to carvng it up soon enough this week and it did turn to being mushy---booo, hisss--enter my Vitamix, so I cut the thing up and buzzed it into lovely, smooth, pink juice!!! Then I added coconut water to it and--- wow--what a treat!!! Think I will make ice cubes out of some of it to add to our ice teas. YUM!!!

I love watermelon. I also have my groceries delivered. For a treat, I've been ordering cut-up watermelon!. Pricey, for sure, but it's been wonderful. Always the very best bright red juicy cut-up melon. The only waste is the container that it comes in.!!!!!!!

I ususally get the cut up watermelon as it's easier to handle but I also know that it comes with the risk of health issues since I'm not cutting it at home.

I buy big sections of watermelon every few days. Its so hydrating and loaded with anti oxidents and vitamins. I also have cantaloupe and blueberries every morning. Big fruit fan!

@Krimpette

Same here. DH and I have been getting the cut upo spears of watermelon for the last few weeks and thankfully it has been great! Cutting up a whole watermelon is tedious and often the watermelon does not turn out to be that great. So, even though it is often a bit more expensive, so far it has been worth it!

@wagirl . This sounds good. I will try it. Usually I put my watermelon in my vitamix with water and cucumbers. These are the perfect drinks for these hot summer days. The next three days in New York are going to be extremely hot. This will be healthy and refreshing. Stay cool everybody!!!

Freeze some for a slushy.

We love watermelon. I get the quarter melon and cut it into chunks at home. But pre-cut melon, slices and chunks, is available for those who can't do the slicing or who simply want the convenience of pre-cut fruit or maybe don't want to deal with the mess. It's a nice option.

My father in law raised watermelon, so, my husband grew up helping with that as a teenager. Back then (1950's & 60's), he said they would cut one open on a picnic table in the backyard and just eat the middle out and g throw the rest away. Big waste in my opinion, but, like he said, watermelons were about 50 cents each back then.

Well, fast forward to 2025 where watermelons are anywhere from $10.00 - $20.00, depending on size, and he still eats watermelon that way!

Watermelon has been really good and sweet this summer...and affordable.

When I was in VietNam, they served watermelon drinks that were cool and refreshing.

They put watermelon and ice cubes in a blender....yummy. I could go for one now, but my husband ate every bit of a whole watermelon I cut up and left none for me.

Speaking of watermelon juice-----there is an ice cream shop near us, that makes their own ice cream and also dairy free flavors too. DD and I stopped in and she got a watermelon mint sorbet that was the essence of summertime!! So good!! Am thinking--why not get a mint tea and make ice tea from it and then add watermelon juice to it?? Over ice in a tall glass----sounds delicious!!!

We have been getting whole watermelons all summer. All were great except one. We eat it almost daily. If I have a quarter or so, not eaten in several days, I blend the last bit. So good, so refreshing. I might have to try mixing it with iced tea or crystal light lemonade, freeze it and make slushies. Yum.
