HOW TO MAKE A WATERMELON BRAIN

As soon as I saw the photo above on a website, I knew that I had to carve my very own watermelon brain for a Halloween party I’ll be attending this weekend. But like everything lately, I ran out of time and I don’t think I’ll be able to put my carving skills to the test this week. So, I’ll do the … [Read more...]

GOT WATERMELON? I DO.

The fall season has definitely arrived in my neck of the woods. The foliage peaked a week or so ago and the leaves have begun piling up in lawns. But one thing many of you may have noticed is that the big cardboard bin of watermelons at your local grocery store has been replaced by a big cardboard … [Read more...]

SEPTEMBER POLL: WHAT’S THE MOST YOU’D PAY FOR WATERMELON?

A reader recently wrote to the What About Watermelon experts with the following dilemma: I live in Iowa and LOVE watermelon.

What’s disappointing about the fall and winter seasons, however, is that many people tend to forget all about watermelon. Why is that? Don’t they know that if they look … [Read more...]

DID YOU KNOW: WATERMELONS ARE HEALTHIER WHEN WARM

A friend forwarded me the following nugget of information the other day. Just when you think you know everything there is to know about watermelon, you learn something like this. It’s not necessarily a new revelation (though it is to me), but scientists from the USDA Agricultural Research Service … [Read more...]

AUGUST PRIZE: THE WATERMELON FLASH DRIVE

I don’t use flash drives, but if I had a watermelon flash drive like the one above, I’d probably use it every day. I’d be putting files and photos on it from work and taking them home with me for no reason at all. Just because I can and because I have a cool watermelon USB flash drive. The drive … [Read more...]

RECIPE: WATERMELON CAKE

The great thing about this recipe is that it uses pieces of watermelon in the cake and watermelon juice in the frosting. And it also looks like watermelon when it’s sliced and served.
