Sunday night Steve and I picked from our garden, our first watermelon of the season.

It was just a wee little beauty, weighing in at 23.8 pounds!
We each took home half a melon but we’d better eat up quickly as our watermelons are doing really well this year so we should be picking another one very soon.
I’m excited and planning on lots of Watermelon Frosty drinks as well as…
Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho which is what I made with this melon.
A family can’t live on watermelon alone so to see what else were enjoying head on over to Cook Lisa Cook and check out my recent recipes including: Mango Lassi, Stir-Fried Asparagus with Water Chestnuts, Ginger & Cashews, Curried Roast Chicken Pieces with Spicy Sweet Potato & Carrots, Grilled Corn & Bacon Pudding, Oriental Chicken Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, Coffee Crusted Steak, Home Style Chicken Curry, Watermelon Frosty, Mango Gazpacho, Toll House Double Stuff Oreo Brownies, Long Beans with Walnuts, Blacksmith Pizza, Rhubarb Crisp, Laksa, Math Book No Bake Cookies, Aloo Gobi, Mint Lassi, Red Curry Chicken, Lamb Curry, Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing, Baked Egg Cups Two Ways, Thai Peanut Salad, Holy Guacamole, Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, Wallaby Darned, Piggy-Out Cookies, Wicked Good New England Lobster Roll, Long Beans with Garlic, Super Simple Summer Shrimp Salsa Salad.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOh my, now THAT is a watermelon. I've been meaning to ask about your garden. Aside from the long beans, you haven't mentioned it as much as last summer. How is it doing?
ReplyDeleteI don't comment much, but I've been reading since before you guys brought Maisie home, but I love your posts about your garden! We live in a condo and are looking for a home, and that is one of the things I am most excited for, growing my own garden. Enjoy your watermelon!
