[Sca-cooks] faux watermelon?

[Huette von Ahrens]

Is your pan cut in half by the poles or by the
equator?  Mine is by the equator.  

Actually the ice cream/sorbet idea sounds quicker
and less work.  Hmmm.  Lime sorbet outside, lemon
sorbet following, with strawberry sorbet with
either raisins or chocolate chips for the inside.
But I have absolutely no freezer space at the
moment. :-(

Or if I do the jello bit, lime jello followed by
almond jello, followed by strawberries and
strawberry jello with raisins for the inside.

However, I already knew that you preferred to
gild the lily ...  :-)
