You’ll be seeing a lot of Halloween-themed entries here on What About Watermelon this month. I’ll post entries about the best and worst watermelon costumes, why people carve pumpkins and not watermelon for Halloween, and I’ll even teach you how to make a cool watermelon brain for your party. Both … [Read more...]
HEALTHY EATING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE
Our daughter recently turned one, which means she’s slowly graduating from baby food to grown-up food. That also means mommy and daddy have to start eating healthier meals that we can share with our finicky toddler. I’m not all that excited about eating healthier, even though I know I should. I’m … [Read more...]
SECOND SLICE: HOW TO MAKE A WATERMELON BRAIN
I posted this one last year, and I’m reposting it here in the spirit of the Halloween season. It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen done to a watermelon and I vowed (silently and to myself) that I’d make one of these things — someday. As soon as I saw the photo above on a website, I … [Read more...]
WATERMELON BITES: NEWS FROM AROUND THE WEB
When I came up with the title of this new monthly entry, which will report various watermelon-related news from around the Web, I thought I was being clever with my choice of title. “Watermelon bites” can refer to bites of watermelon, but it can also refer to the little blurbs known as news … [Read more...]
WATERMELON COSTUMES FOR ALL AGES
I’m headed to a Halloween party next week and I also have to figure out what costume I’ll be wearing. My wife and I will probably opt for something simple, but I’m still not sure what that simple getup will be. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I won’t be dressing up as a watermelon. As … [Read more...]
WHY DON’T PEOPLE CARVE WATERMELONS AT HALLOWEEN?
I’m going to start this entry by stating that I’m not a pumpkin hater. On the contrary, I love pumpkins. I love pumpkin pie, I love roasted pumpkin seeds, I love “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” I especially love carving pumpkins each October. But I love watermelon even more, which is why I … [Read more...]
HALLOWEEN RECIPE: WATERMELON GRAPEFRUIT SHOOTERS
Earlier this month, in my “Halloween Series” of recipe entries (if two entries can be considered a “series”), I showed you how to make watermelon fangs. Today’s recipe is a little more adult oriented. How are watermelon grapefruit shooters related to Halloween? I was afraid you’d ask that. I’m not … [Read more...]
ASK THE EXPERTS: WHICH FRIDGE SHOULD I USE?
Hey Chef Harry! We’ve just had a BBQ and we’ve got loads of watermelon left! We were wondering, which of our fridges would be best to store the watermelon in? We have a black fridge we bought in 2006 and a more recent silver fridge, bought in 2009. The watermelon is cut into cubes and in a … [Read more...]
FEATURED PHOTO: MY LEAST FAVORITE WATERMELON PICTURE
The above image has haunted just about every Google Image search I’ve done for watermelon photos over the past few years, so I figured I’d finally find a use for the freaky pic by featuring it during this month-long Halloween celebration. I don’t know if it’s the beady little eyes or the casual … [Read more...]
FEATURED ANIMAL EATING WATERMELON: AN ELEPHANT
Elephant’s are Earth’s largest land animal, so it makes sense that they’d be fans of one of the largest fruits/vegetables. In this video, we see an elephant making good use of his 10,000 pounds by reducing a watermelon to mush and scooping up the remnants with his trunk. I once tried stomping on a … [Read more...]
