Today is National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day. As far as inverted cakes are concerned, the pineapple kind is definitely one of my favorites. But since this blog is called “What About Watermelon?” and not “What About Pineapple?” I can’t really spend much time talking about it. To celebrate this … [Read more...]
HOW TO MAKE A WATERMELON SLING
Spring is here, which means more baseball games, more camping trips and more picnics at the lake. The only problem with the picnic is that the watermelon usually doesn’t fit into the picnic basket. Instead of just tossing the watermelon into the back of the car, or running the risk of dropping … [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
If you search for “how to cut up a watermelon” on YouTube, you’ll get more than 1,500 results. 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. It allowed me to find what I … [Read more...]
RECIPE: WATERMELON SHERBET
If there’s one food I eat more often than watermelon, it’s ice cream. At any given time, there’s at least three half-gallon containers in my freezer. And even though sherbet is technically not ice cream (it’s got less milk fat), I was still pretty psyched when I found this recipe for watermelon … [Read more...]
QUOTABLE WATERMELON: I BEG TO DIFFER
Like most proverbs, this quote has a deeper meaning. My guess is that it’s supposed to be a lesson in not biting off more than you can chew. Like carrying two watermelons under one arm. It sounds like a simple task, but you might end up dropping a watermelon, and then you’ve got a split watermelon … [Read more...]
THE HUMAN CANVAS (EATING A WATERMELON)
Remember the picture of that freaky watermelon-headed woman I posted back around Halloween? This image isn’t quite as creepy, but I bet this guy and that woman would make a good couple. The subject in the above photo uses his head as a canvas to paint all sorts of things. You can get a better … [Read more...]
SPRING HAS SPRUNG (WHO WANTS A MOJITO?)
Spring has indeed sprung, so I’ve decided to repost this entry. Enjoy! I’ll shed no tears over the passing of the winter. Nope. Not a single one. That’s because anyone who knows me knows that I’m a warm weather person. I enjoy getting outdoors (without having to wear eight layers of … [Read more...]
