You know how your face gets all messy when you eat a slice or quarter wedge of watermelon? Of course you do (I know I do). It starts out clean, but when you get closer to the rind, things can get a little out of control. Of course, that messiness is part of the charm and joy of eating watermelon … [Read more...]
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: FOUR PHOTOS OF CARS AND WATERMELON
Pretty sure I mentioned this before, but when I got out of the Navy several years ago, I loaded everything I owned into the back of my old Monte Carlo for the six-hour drive from Connecticut to Pennsylvania. The car did a great job of hauling my possessions, but it’s hardly the first car to be … [Read more...]
CAPTION THIS PHOTO: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT?
Here on the Watermelon blog, I’d like to think I’ve seen, tasted and experienced all things watermelon. While some things I’ve witnessed have been downright outrageous, I have yet to see a watermelon-animal hybrid … until today. There are a handful of species of rhino, but I’m not sure you’ll … [Read more...]
TEST YOUR WATERMELON KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS CROSSWORD PUZZLE!
I’m not a big fan of cold weather, which means I spend much of the winter huddled up in the warmth of my home, counting the days until spring. How I pass my time during those chilly days varies, but it usually involves reading, watching movies and playing Chutes & Ladders and dress-up with my … [Read more...]

I may have mentioned briefly in the past a peculiar-but-fun Christmas tradition involving a pickle hidden on a Christmas tree. And, yes, I know that’s not a pickle in the image on the right. (More on that juicy ornament later in this blog entry.) For those who aren’t familiar, the Christmas … [Read more...]

Each year, members of the National Watermelon Association (NWA) convene for the NWA’s annual convention. It’s a pretty big deal, and anyone who’s anyone in the watermelon industry is in attendance. This year’s convention, held in Savannah, Georgia, was especially significant because it marked the … [Read more...]
LET’S START A CHRISTMAS TRADITION WITH WATERMELON! (OR NOT)
According to my 4-year-old (and most 4-year-olds), Christmas is the greatest holiday of the year. From the timeless traditions of decorating the tree and picking the treats from our Advent calendar, it’s hard to argue with her logic. It’s a magical time of year that brings people together in the … [Read more...]
SECOND SLICE: WHAT ARE YOU DROPPING ON NEW YEAR’S EVE?
I’ve started planning my New Year’s Eve celebration menu (which includes lots of dip), and it reminded me of this blog entry from 2012. And yes, I’ll be celebrating from the comfort and warmth of my couch at home! You know how you know when you’re getting old? When you stop thinking that spending … [Read more...]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (AND MY 2015 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION)
It’s New Year’s Eve, and I hope everyone has plans to ring in 2015 in style…even if that means you’ll be fast asleep by the time Ryan Seacrest leads us in the annual Times Square countdown. I also hope you’ve given some thought to your New Year’s resolutions. Back in October, I asked … [Read more...]
RECIPE: MUFFIN CRUMBLE PARFAIT
I’ll be featuring three recipes this month on the Fridays leading up to Thanksgiving. Each one can be loosely applied to Turkey Day, starting with this one!
