Got a great Gazpacho recipe? I wanted to make that for a pool party, but the cucumbers I bought were too bitter. So, I made seafood pasta salad.

This is a good one for a pool party:

WATERMELON SALSA

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
3 cups chopped seeded watermelon
1 cup chopped seeded honeydew melon or cantaloupe
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chilies

Whisk lime juice and sugar in large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add watermelon and all remaining ingredients; toss gently. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

Makes about 4 cups.

How about a cookbook for those of us who only have themselves to cook for?

Cooking a full meal and then freezing portions doesn't always work, something gets lost in the reheating or nuking after they been in the freezer. You also have to use them within a set length of time or throw it out.

The alternative, eating out, strains the budget as do frozen dinners.

Cooking for one recipes are like my shoe size, impossible to find.
