Sherbet Watermelon

"This also comes from yesterday's newspaper. It sounds like a cute idea for a summer desert, especially if your kids don't like watermelon (they don't know what they're missing!)! It can be made up to 1 week ahead."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
