In my search for a video to feature here on What About Watermelon this month, I discovered that there are a lot of videos featuring animals eating watermelon. Cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, squirrels, elephants – pretty much any animal you can think of seems to enjoy watermelon (and being videotaped … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: ADVICE FOR ASPIRING WATERMELON QUEENS
THE WATERMELON GUY ASKS: On behalf of little girls everywhere, what advice do you have for girls who might one day want to become the National Watermelon Queen? First, always be yourself. In today’s society, many young girls feel pressure to conform to the newest trends or standards of beauty. … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: IS DRINKING BEER AND EATING WATERMELON HARMFUL?
KELLY A. FROM NORMAN, OK, ASKS: A friend of mine said that if you eat watermelon and drink beer (or drink beer and eat watermelon…I’m not sure if the order matters) you will get really sick or maybe even die. That’s the first time I ever heard of that. Is it true? Wow. That’s the first time I, … [Read more...]
APRIL PRIZE: WATERMELON PLATTER DISHES
Spring is in the air. Is that the right phrase? I know love can be “in the air,” but can spring be in the air? I can smell spring on certain days (it smells like grass, grilled meat, and a hint of manure spread on nearby cornfields), so I guess spring can be in the air. Either way, I was thinking … [Read more...]
WHAT-A-MELON TOES
I like to surf the photo-sharing website Flickr because you never know what you’re going to find. Case in point: the image above from TXAlleKat. I’ve painted toenails in the past (not my own), and it’s no easy feat, so I can appreciate the artistic talent that went into creating this toe art. Bonus … [Read more...]
THIS DOESN’T MEAN KANGAROO MANURE DOESN’T MAKE GOOD FERTILIZER
Most of you – if not all of you – probably guessed based on the timing of last week’s entry about the ginormous Australian watermelons that the story was a not-so-elaborate April Fool’s joke. I tried to make it believable with reports about Tasmania’s wet climate (which is true) and the power of … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE WATERMELON RECIPES?
MINDY K. OF CLEVELAND, OH, ASKS: I see the watermelon recipes on the blog and they all look so good, but I don’t know where to start when it comes to choosing a recipe. Do you have any suggestions? What are your favorite watermelon recipes? I hear you, Mindy. I get the same option paralysis with … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON WINE SPRITZERS
One thing I didn’t include in Tuesday’s entry about my favorite watermelon recipes is a beverage recipe. That’s mainly because I’ve never really made any drinks with watermelon, which is, I’ll admit, completely unacceptable. If I were to reverse that trend today, I’d do so with a watermelon wine … [Read more...]
WATERMELON IS NUMBER ONE ON LIST OF AFFORDABLE AND HEALTHY FRUITS
I’ve written in the past about how watermelon is one of the most budget-friendly fruits. We also know it packs its share of nutritional benefits. What do you get when you combine the two perks? How ‘bout a number one ranking on a list of fruits that pack the most nutritional bang for your … [Read more...]
SECOND SLICE: THE WATERMELON EATING WORLD RECORD
This was posted a while back here on What About Watermelon, but it’s a fun story (and an amazing one), so I’m posting it again. And despite how much you might love watermelon, I do not recommend attempting this record at home. I once ate an entire five-pound watermelon in one sitting. I’m not … [Read more...]
