Not long ago, I brought a watermelon (of course) to a barbecue at my brother-in-law’s house. Soon after I got there, I began to carve it up but soon realized my brother-in-law had nothing to serve the watermelon wedges on aside from an old cookie sheet.
Don’t get me wrong. You can serve me watermelon on a rusty garbage can lid and I’d probably eat it (I’m 99 percent sure I would), but it was one of those “party barbecues,” and a little presentation goes a long way at those things. If my brother-in-law had this month’s prize – the watermelon platter (or any platter) – the watermelon would have been presented nicely and received the adoration it deserved. Not that people didn’t adore the watermelon. It was gone in about 12 minutes, but still…
I’ll choose one comment from all the comments left on the blog this week to receive the party-pleasing prize pictured above from our friends at watermelonshop.com. Good luck!
