Even though the kids are back in school, I am not ready to give up on the idea of summer and summer vacation. So, I decided to post some recipes and thoughts on my most favorite summer fruit--WATERMELON!
I know, I know my editorial calender must be way off. Watermelon posts should have happened last May or June as we were heading into the summer season--not as we head out of it. But, maybe you still have a watermelon in your fridge. Maybe you can still buy them in season. Maybe these are ideas for next year.
This isn't really a recipe for watermelon bowls--more of a tip. My dad would always do this for us as kids and now my own kids fight over who gets the watermelon bowl. A watermelon can only make two---and I always want to have one too.
Here is what you do:
1) Cut the ends off the watermelon. Gauge how think to cut it based on how hungry you are.
2) Using a spoon, loosen up the watermelon from the rind. (I suppose you could use a melon baller as well, if you cared a lot about presentation.)
3) Serve with a spoon or fork to the kids.
