Happy Memorial Day & welcome to the first "Savor the Moment" Video Blog! Today's recipe is a delicious and refreshing Watermelon Salsa that's just perfect for Summer entertaining. Just a note, I ran into a wee bit of technical difficulty during filming (memory card ran out of space) so the video is presented in two parts. Don't run off at intermission though because I have a question for you at the end of the video and George Clooney may or may not make a cameo appearance - you just have to watch and find out! I have also included the recipe for the Watermelon Salsa below. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did - Cheers!
