Recipe number thirty seven comes from Miss Melissa. I was supposed to make it when she could eat it to judge accurately, but I had a beautiful watermelon that needed to be used, so went for it. Melissa was actually the first person to invite me anywhere when I moved to Utah and she invited me to Thanksgiving dinner of all things! She is so nice all the time and extremely generous as well as a great karaoke singer. She has made me feel welcome to my new home from the start and this recipe was incredible. I thinking about the leftovers in the fridge right now in fact. And will definitely make sure I make it for her again because it is just delicious.
