As quick and current as a news magazine…

Summer came and went.  Time flies when you’re having fun.  Or doing nothing.  I’ve had a lot of ideas to write about, and they’re all bouncing around in my head.  Time to put fingers to keyboard.  In the mean time, let me leave you with this little tidbit.

What ever happened to seeded watermelons?  I’ve found them for sale exactly once this year.  They’ve all been replaced by those new fancy “seedless” ones.  I’ll use quotes here, because they’re not like navel oranges or limes, which truly have no seeds, but are rather filled with those white seeds.  Like cucumbers, you can swallow them.   But my big gripe with the seedless watermelons is that they’re completely devoid of any flavor.  They don’t have that real sweet flavor of a really ripe good old-fashioned watermelon.  Yes, I can chunk them up, and throw them into a fruit salad, or give it to the baby without fear of choking or cracked teeth, but what’s being sacrificed in convenience is flavor. 

Now where can I get me one of these???
