I like walnuts, I like cream cheese, I like bagels, and I like watermelon. I even like cinnamon. So it makes sense that if you combined all those ingredients, it would create a breakfast that I couldn’t ignore. So I whipped up a batch of the watermelon walnut bagel spread from the recipe I found … [Read more...]
MARCH PRIZE: THE WATERMELON PILLOW
I’ve never had a dream about watermelon. Actually, one time, I dreamt that my head turned into a giant watermelon and a hoard of hungry picnickers were chasing me around with carving knives. So I guess I have dreamt about watermelon, I’ve just never had a good dream about watermelon. If I took a … [Read more...]
VINTAGE WATERMELON: ONE VERY HAPPY FAMILY
I don’t know much about this photo, but based on the hair styles, the clothing, and the pen in the pocket of the guy in the front, I’d estimate it was taken some time in early August 1956. I’m not sure if this photo is a candid shot taken by a family member or something a little more … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON HAM WRAPS
Lately, I’ve found myself eating an unusually high number of tortilla shells, which is one of the things that made me want to feature this recipe. I use tortillas for the usual soft tacos, but I’ve also put them to use as pizza crusts, in a layered Mexican casserole (similar to lasagna noodles) … [Read more...]
SECOND SLICE: HOW TO GROW THE WORLD’S LARGEST WATERMELON
Awhile back, I posted a video of the world’s largest watermelon being harvested. It made me think I’d like to put my green(ish) thumb to the test by growing my own record breaker.

THIS IS WHY I CAN SLEEP THROUGH A ROOT CANAL
Throughout my entire life, I’ve never had a problem falling asleep. My mom likes to tell a story about how, as a two-year-old, I slept through the worst typhoon in Guam history. My wife is jealous of my ability to fall fast asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. My talent for … [Read more...]
ALL ABOARD THE S.S. WATERMELON!
If I had a nickel for every time I felt the urge to convert a hollowed-out watermelon into a remote-controlled boat, I’d have about 15 cents. One tech-savvy watermelon lover acted on that urge and did exactly that. Even better, they plopped their creation in a backyard pool and captured its maiden … [Read more...]
FEATURED WATERMELON CAKE: I’D EAT IT STEM AND ALL!
In my monthly search for images of watermelon cakes, I’m consistently amazed by what some people are able to create out of flour, sugar and a little icing. This month’s featured watermelon cake is a good example. It comes from the baking genius behind the website SweetDreamsCakeApp.com. Not only … [Read more...]
RECIPE: BREAKFAST A GO-GO
My breakfasts usually consist of cereal, toast or nothing at all (unless coffee counts as breakfast, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t). I definitely wouldn’t mind giving my boring breakfast routine a makeover by whipping up this morning treat to start my day. It’s simple to create – just three … [Read more...]
QUOTABLE WATERMELON: DON’T BE A CRY BABY
This month’s “Quotable Watermelon” is a little violent, but it made me chuckle. I don’t recommend hitting anyone in the face with a watermelon because, well, it’s just plain mean and a waste of a good watermelon. Of course, this quote is also misguided because onions (and watermelons to the face) … [Read more...]
