 Oh, my gosh, the watermelon's gone. That's it. It just blew up. So here's what you can do, though. You can use rubbery watermelon. Here's my tip of the day. Overwipe watermelon with that rubbery texture. It's safe to eat, but less refreshing. You think? To avoid the texture, cut it into small pieces for recipes like watermelon salsa or make watermelon sorbet, which involves freezing and blending the fruit.
