I tried really hard to find a video of a non-cute animal eating a watermelon (after all, ugly animals like watermelon, too), but I couldn’t. Instead, I’m featuring a video of a cute little baby mouse. Check him out below. Isn’t he the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen? I just want to pinch his … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: WHAT’S WITH THE LITTLE WHITE SEEDS?
The following was posted here on What About Watermelon? awhile ago, but I hear this question a lot, so I’ve decided to repost it. KEITH O. FROM PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, ASKS: I know seedless watermelons don’t have the big black seeds in them, but what’s up with those small white seeds? Are those … [Read more...]
FEATURED PHOTO: CAT, WATERMELON, LAKE
This photo pops up now and then when I search for pictures of watermelon and animals, so I’ve decided to feature it here on the blog. I’m not really sure what’s going on in this image. Why is the watermelon in the lake? Better yet, why is the cat in the lake? And why is he pawing at that … [Read more...]
THE QUOTABLE WATERMELON: DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
I had to think a little while about this quote and what it meant. The way I interpret it is as a warning: If you spend too much time focusing on the details (the sesame seeds), you can sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture (the watermelon). I’m not a fan of sesame seeds on hamburger buns or … [Read more...]

RESOLUTION UPDATE: WE’VE GOT A VENUE!
Great news! My contact at the Cumberland Ag Expo here in Pennsylvania got back to me and the Expo’s board liked the idea of hosting a seed-spitting contest and gave it the official green light. The next step is to await further input from the board, which will come after their May 10 meeting. At … [Read more...]
WATERMELON CARVING: THE WATERMELOSAURUS REX
Last month’s hedgehog watermelon carving went better than I expected, so I’ve decided to carve another slightly challenging (but more menacing) watermelon creature – the Tyrannosaurus rex. I should also admit that I chose this design because it allowed me to use the extra toothpicks and skewers I … [Read more...]
FEATURED WATERMELON CAKE: THE HOUSE OF CAKES DUBAI
I spent five years on a submarine when I was in the Navy, and although the cooks were forced to work with extremely limited resources, the food was actually pretty good. If I had one gripe about the grub, it would be that we never had watermelon. Apparently, watermelons take up a lot of room, and … [Read more...]
HOW TO CUT UP A WATERMELON IN UNDER TWO MINUTES

I watched about 30 of those results in my hunt for the best watermelon-cutting lesson, and although I’ll never get that hour of my life back, the effort was well worth it.
