There's no such thing as too much watermelon!

Watermelon salad with red onions, black olives, feta cheese and lime juice.

Make pickles with the rind.

Pick out the black seeds, (don't bother with the little soft white ones), cube it up, and toss it in the blender with some ice, fresh mint, and vodka, rum, or tequila. If you have some other fresh fruit, throw that in too. If you have frozen fruit, use it instead of ice. Grab a good book, find a comfy chair outside, and have a delightful afternoon.

Sorbet or granita would be yummy, too. Or juice some and make watermelon lemonade. Freeze some cubes and use them instead of ice to jazz up sparkling water or juice.

Aside from agua fresca, my favorite uses for watermelon are salsas, sorbets, fruit salads, cocktails and granitas. An easy solution is to fill it with vodka (and something sweet if the watermelon isn't sweet enough), chill, and enjoy.

Sounds like a fun problem to have! Let us know what you end up doing.
