Yesterday I bought a watermelon at the market, you probably read about it and yesterday's blog. Well tonight I was going to write something about the watermelon but got thinking I wonder if I'm overdoing that l a little bit. So, I brought up the blog and did a search for watermelon and sure enough there was blog after blog about watermelons that really didn't come out right just one blog and have many posts in that blog how about watermelons. So it'd be a little Overkill I think to write another blog on watermelons even if it's somewhat Justified.
The mill and I picked out the market has sat on the table all night long and it's a bit intimidating. With the other watermelons in the big box of melons it looked pretty small but on my table I look too huge and daunting. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to process the fruit. I don't even know where I would store that much fruit. I kind of copped out but it was a good idea I still think and I grabbed one of my neighbors who at least cut the watermelon in half and I gave her half of the melon for her laborers. The half that I was left with was still quite large and it was a little awkward too cut and trim but I found a pot pretty large and started cutting sections out and put them in the pot eventually stuck the hole thing in the refrigerator which I hope to piece on in the next couple of days. I did not make as a big a mess this year as I usually do when cutting the watermelon by myself. It's so messy I hate to use that many paper towels on one project but this last spring and summer I've been investing in dish towels. The dish towels I have now or just perfect for something like absorbing moisture from the watermelon cutting. I also had a couple of plastic bags from the market, you know all those really thin plastic bags that they send you home with from your shopping experience? Well I like to keep bags around so that instead of throwing all the watermelon rind in the garbage adding weight and mass I just take the pieces of the watermelon after I cut them into whatever size or trim or when I've eaten one or two pieces of test pieces I threw them in the plastic bag and when I'm finished I have a hefty bag that I can run out and deposit into the dumpster. By the time I was finished with the melon I was pretty much sick of the whole thing by the time I was finished I had a couple nice bites of the watermelon it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be or as much as I wanted it to be. Always about this time I think about the prepared food they have at the beginning of the market when I go in you know the prime ribs are the barbecue ribs potato salad all the things that are trying to get you to buy, I've noticed this year they actually have quarters of watermelon cut into slices covered in plastic or cellophane. You seem expensive around $7 which seems like a lot for that much watermelon but it's cut really nice it's very pretty and it's all done. I think I should maybe consider doing this purchase sometime and see how good the watermelon is. I'd like to see if it's worth the $7 crap shoot. Cuz the fruit really looks good when it's cut up and taking care of like that. And this is just the perfect way to have watermelon if you're single and have to do your whole thing yourself. I don't mind the effort if I'm doing it for somebody else plus myself. Just more of the joys of Summer…
