Wow Watermelon!

This morning I came across this helpful post on Raising Homemakers.com . Perfect timing!  There's a big juicy melon downstairs calling my name. 
You bet I'm using this today! "watery grin"


How To Cut A Watermelon

Posted on 15 July 2010 by Courtney 
Have you been hacking at your watermelon for years? I have! Actually, I am a little scared of cutting watermelons – I feel like it’s dangerous – because the first slice is so difficult.
BUT 2 summers ago, my sister Kristen taught me this really neat way to cut up a watermelon quite easily! I shared it with a few of my friends and when I saw the amazement in their eyes – I thought what a typical blogger thinks – I better blog about this! lol!
Here’s How to Cut a Watermelon:


Step #1
Slice the watermelon long ways into four pieces.

Step #2
Take one of the quarters and slice it with your knife straight down in rows.


Step #3

Now take your knife along the side and slice it long ways making squares on that side.
Step #4
Turn it and slice it long ways on the other side – making squares on that side too.
Step #5
Slice along the rind while not letting the squares fall off. Then lift your watermelon over the bowl and let the pieces slide off into beautiful squares in your bowl!
Isn’t that gorgeous in the bowl! Serve and Enjoy!
Walk with the King!

I never think about blogging things that I just always do...duh!
Good post- and this works with all melons!
Oh- take a big metal spoon and scrap the rind for the rest of the melon the knife forgot.
This year I started juicing water melon.
Yummy. Would make a great smoothie too!
Still enjoying the ice cream!
