Watermelons are huge - or those shipped into the UK are ....
Bet you get quite a few 'cocktails' through your blender :-)
TY for sharing

[Edit add. Q:]
Do you pip the melon - or do the blended pips lend something in addition to the flesh? Just asking, as I have no idea - I have never blended a melon - of any type - BUT I DO KNOW that honeydew, Galia, and other melons do make for a lovely base when liquidized without their seeds/skin. Another reason to ask is that I use melon seeds dried within my baking of bread - one of the varieties of multi-seeded baps - along with very many other seeds - but I am unfamiliar with watermelon seeds.
LOVE the rich color of WM :-)
Best,

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.

Pips and Baps sounds like a great name for a band - had to "google" both….
This is a very small seedless watermelon also known as a "personal watermelon." They are the size of a rather large cantaloupe. Seedless is a misnomer as it has many small seeds…they go into my blender along with the chunks of pure melon I use. I set some chunks aside for snacking. I doubt the pips would be useful in baps, but I am thinking Bill could make a great poem using these fun words! 😁 jb

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

I love the color of this drink. It looks very refreshing. Staying hydrated is important, and we ostomates have to be careful when drinking just plain water.
How do you find living in Florida and keeping hydrated?
I'm sipping coconut water at the moment. I have also made up the St Mark's solution.
