Miz Anne likes watermelon rind pickles, her Mom used to make them.
Difference is her Mom was feeding two teenage boys and two teenage girls
plus a toddler and herself and Dad. Waste not, want not was their motto.
I don't even eat watermelon anymore myself, too sweet for my diabetic
taste anymore.

I like the idea of using as much of the melon as possible - to the
point where if we don't get through the red part fast enough, I'll be
making jelly
