Here is a refreshing afternoon snack, especially when it is a hot summer’s day.  This recipe came from Woman’s World, 2017
     You will need:  ¼ cup sugar
     4 cups diced seedless watermelon
     1cup fresh or frozen raspberries
     1 lime (zested and juiced)
 Directions:  In a small saucepan, mix sugar and ¼ cup water. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, constantly stirring.  Cook 1 to 2 min. more or until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat.  In a blender or food processor, puree watermelon, raspberries, 1 Tab. Lime juice, 1 tsp. lime zest and sugar syrup.  Mix until smooth ( I like to strain the mixture through a sieve, but you don’t have to do that).  Pour mixture into a 9”x5” metal loaf pan.  Freeze, for about 2 hours.  Stir with a fork and freeze for another 2 hours.  Stir with a fork before serving. Very cooling and refreshing!

 Heat rashes are uncomfortable and ugly. Those of us with sensitive skin need to know how to handle this situation. Here is a quick and natural cure, that works for me. Mix 1 tsp. of baking soda and I cup of very cold water. Apply on red areas and let dry. Use a clean, dry and non-irritating cloth. Do this 2-4 times a day until the rash disappears.  A dermatologist gave this “recipe” to my mother many years ago.  Hope you find this helpful.
