Relaxing during a hot day!

Sisters #1 -- Relaxing in the summertime!

On a recommendation from one of the Sisters #2, we have been watching Friday Night Lights.....a great series about a small town in Texas and their football team and their lives!  You might think this is a sedentary activity but I can assure you that we are sitting in our dual recliners exercising our legs by pushing the foot rest up and down 10 times an hour!  Tonight we had a "Granita" that Shirley made.....Watermelon, fresh ginger, honey, lime juice.  Here's the recipe:

Combine 4 cups cubed watermelon with 6 T. honey, 1 T. fresh lime juice, and 2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger in blender.  Puree until smooth.  Transfer to shallow 1 1/2 qt. dish, cover, and freeze overnight.  Break up clumps with a fork until the texture is grainy. Refreeze 20 minutes or until firm.  Keep frozen until ready to serve.

Yum!!!!  Great on a Kansas day when it's 105 outside!
