Today was grocery day and as usual my cart automatically went to the magazine department. There were a couple of new August issues out so I bought the Martha Stewart "Living" and the Phyllis Hoffman "Celebrate".
It just so happened that a watermelon made it's way to our house today and as I was reading the Martha Stewart - Living magazine, she had a little tid-bit in it on cutting a watermelon. It was called "on the level". She explains how to cut a wobbly watermelon where it's easier to handle. She says to remove both ends and stand the watermelon on a flat surface. Carefully run your knife down the side of the melon to remove the rind, then slice into wedges. So I tried it. Easy, breezy! It save alot of time doing it this way.
I love watermelon and as hot as it is here in Florida, watermelon is a staple in our house (and it's good for you).
With the heat raging at 92 degrees, it's a little hard to start thinking about the Fall season. But... it is going to be here before we know it.
Phyllis Hoffman "Celebrate" did it again. What a great magazine. This is her Festive Fall Issue and it is loaded with all the fall decorations imaginable. Gorgeous!
Hi. Yum I long for summer when I see watermelon and actually I am busy doing a post for some time next week on my favourite salads (even though its winter here) and one of them is a Watermelon Salad! It seem you and I share an addiction of magazines (no cure to be found and frankly I have no desire to be cured at all!) I did a post on my addiction and how I manage to keep them all is astonishing!
