CHILLED WATERMELON SOUP
One bowl contains 90 calories and almost zero fat.

Makes 4 servings.
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 limes: one for zest and both for juice
3 cups cubed and seeded watermelon
2 mint leaves, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup sparkling wine (or sparkling water)
In a small nonstick skillet, gently sauté ginger, sugar, and zest over medium heat 2 minutes. Add lime juice and simmer until no liquid remains. Transfer mixture to a blender and add watermelon, mint, and sparkling wine. Puree until smooth; strain with sieve into bowl. Chill soup at least 3 hours before serving. For a more elegant version: Divide soup into 2 equal portions. Freeze a portion for 3 hours to make a granité (a slushy of sorts) and chill remaining half for 3 hours. Scrape granité into 4 bowls and pour chilled soup over granité. Garnish with mint leaves; serve immediately.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Hashtag Sisters-in-Law with Joanne Banks, Joyce Fance, Barb McQuade,
0:17.2	and me, Kimberly Atkins' store.
0:19.6	It has been a wild week, and we have been digesting this big federal indictment on Donald
0:26.5	Trump.
0:27.5	And today we're going to be discussing, among other things, the defenses that he may launch
0:32.6	in this case, what the assignment of Judge Aileen Tannen in this case means, and also
0:39.0	a big Supreme Court case involving the Indian Child Welfare Act, which is big news, which

0:50.6	It's our favorite part.

0:57.6	it means Cookout.
0:59.0	It means a lot of summary food.
1:01.3	And I'm thinking about how I always surprise people at the Cookout because I have very specific
1:06.9	things, summary foods that I don't like.

1:11.3	The number one food that I cannot stand that most people like is watermelon.

1:23.9	The taste of it, the aftertaste of it, the texture of it, the consistency.
1:29.5	It's really truly horrific.
