While visiting my sister last week, my brother-in-law let me in on the secret of cutting a watermelon. If everyone knows how to do this but me…just move on with life, but it has changed mine forever!!!! I always cut it into half moons and then try not to take my hand off getting the flesh out of the rind. I now no longer dread cutting up the yummy watermelon.
Start by whacking that sucker in half and put it flat side down.
Then carve from the top down the side of the melon.
Just keep going around till you get it all.
Then carefully go across the top.
Next up cut it into a checker board on the top…
then slice it rows throughout.
See…a nice yummy stack of watermelon!
Thank you James!!!!
I tried this fun idea a few days ago. I had everyone eating all sorts of vegetables and fruits and dips they don't normally eat. Plus, it was a great way to get everyone to eat the odds and ends in the fridge when I couldn't stomach making up a whole meal. Then I just shoved the muffin tin in the fridge with plastic wrap and pulled it out for my lunch the next day, adding a few new things to the empty cups. I found MYSELF eating some good fruits and vegetables from the fridge I probably wouldn't have eaten otherwise. Having it all divided up in the muffin tin cups made it so nothing got soggy or mixed in that way that can be so yucky as leftovers otherwise.
