I’ve written in the past about how fans of a certain professional football team in Canada have made a tradition of wearing watermelon helmets on game day. The team has no known connections to watermelon, although the team color is a very watermelon-like shade of green, so I’m not really sure what … [Read more...]
SUPER SUNDAY WATERMELON RECIPE: WATERMELON S’MORES
For me, dessert at a football party usually consists of one last slice of pepperoni pizza, a handful of cheese curls and a side of ranch dressing (just in case). But if the party served something like today’s recipe, I’d probably skip the side of ranch and opt for this instead. WATERMELON … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: FREEZING WATERMELON IN THE WINTER?
BETSY B. WRITES: I am sooooo sad that there are no watermelons in the grocery store now. I have an addiction to the sweet fruit. Has anyone ever tried freezing it ? If so, how would you do it ? I have to know. Also, are there sources where you can go to buy watermelons out of … [Read more...]
FEATURED (HOLIDAY-LIKE) RECIPE: WATERMELON COOKIES
Who doesn’t love Christmas cookies? I can’t get enough of them. Seriously, there’s not a single kind of cookie I can’t eat a couple dozen of, as long as I’ve also got a tall, cold glass of skim milk (skim’s better for the waistline, you know). All cookies, that is, except maybe sugar cookies. I’ve … [Read more...]
COMING SOON TO SCHOOL LUNCHROOMS NATIONWIDE: WATERMELON PIZZA!
My 20-year high school reunion is creeping up on me, a constant reminder of how old I am. I don’t remember much about high school – another sign of old age, I guess – but I do remember the lunches. Pizza was always my favorite school lunch option. It was never great pizza (I wouldn’t even call it … [Read more...]
WHY IS THERE NO LOVE FOR WATERMELON DURING THE HOLIDAYS?
The other day my wife and I were talking about holiday traditions we can carry over from our childhoods into our new family and I mentioned my family’s tradition of putting an orange in the toe of our stockings every year (among many other odds and ends). The tradition made me realize that the … [Read more...]
VINTAGE FEATURED PHOTOS: AT THE PALISADES
I stumbled across the photo above showing some vintage watermelon fun on Flickr. It’s an image simply titled “At the Palisades” and the person who posted it described it as a photo “of my husband’s family although I have little idea of whom in particular.” The date of the image isn’t specified, … [Read more...]
FEATURED ANIMAL EATING WATERMELON: A WHITE-TAILED DEER
In the spirit of the holidays, I tried to find a video of a reindeer eating a watermelon, but I couldn’t. I was, however, able to track down footage of a white-tailed deer eating watermelon, which will have to do as the next best thing, I guess. The deer in the video below seems to love … [Read more...]
FEATURED (HOLIDAY-LIKE) RECIPE: A COLLECTION OF FESTIVE PAULA DEEN CREATIONS
My mother-in-law hates me a little bit right now because not too long ago I got the opportunity to meet the “Queen of Southern Cuisine” and Food Network megastar, Mrs. Paula Deen, who was in town for a charity event. My meet-and-greet with her definitely made my mother-in-law jealous (she’s a huge … [Read more...]
