Again with the new?

Do you know the expression "Your eyes were bigger than your stomach"? Meaning, you take more food than you can possibly eat? I have this problem all the time at the grocery store, especially in the produce section. Especially during the summer, when there are so many wonderful fruits and vegetables available. I see something on display and think, "Oh, that would be great!", bring it home, put it in the refrigerator, and then promptly forget about it.

Such was the case with a big wedge of watermelon that was ticking away in the fridge. I could have just cut it up, but there was no way I could eat it all before it went bad. Then I stumbled on the idea of making a granita with it. A granita is like a slushy sorbet, only lighter and more melty.

I adapted this recipe from the Food Network, switching lime juice for lemon (because I had a lime in the house. Also, I used a blender instead of a food processor). It was very easy to make, and tastes wonderful too!
