watermelon | pad patter 8.3.21

I love watermelon, and one of my kids does also. DH and Colin (youngest) aren't really fans. They say it doesn't have flavor.

Oddly enough, I was scrolling somewhere - FB, reddit, not sure - and saw this chart. I will actually try this next time. I randomly chose watermelon, then gave it a day or two before cutting. Also, I make Shayne cut it up now, lol! But, I have to watch him... he will eat the whole thing basically while cutting!

Daughter and I love watermelon - husband hates it. I like it with salt!! I hate all other types of melon and refuse to eat a mixed fruit salad if it has the other melons in it (those flavors travel to the other fruits).

Watermelon ice is good. Cook-Out (burger and shake place) has a watermelon milkshake during the summer - nope! Watermelon and milk do not go together for me.

When we were kids we would have watermelon often at my grandparents. They always made us eat it outside and told us to spit the seeds into the garden (free planting for next year). Of course it was more fun to spit them at your siblings.

 

This post made me buy some watermelon and cantaloupe my last visit to the grocery. It tasted so good since I haven't had it for over 5 years. I bought it pre-cut in plastic containers and they were just the right amount for a couple days.
