NOT JUST FOR PICNICS Well, I guess the slogan "Watermelon. Not Just for Picnics Anymore." is the new slogan of the National Watermelon Promotional Board. Yep, didn't know there was such a thing either. But since it's National Watermelon Day, I suppose the Promotion Board must be out in full force. There is even a chef touring around in a custom built, 41 foot bus with a full kitchen demonstrating healthy recipes using that juicy red goodness. Alas, it doesn't look like the Watermelon bus is going to make it to the West coast anytime soon. I know the big thing is seedless watermelons, but I miss the wonderful taste of those old time watermelons with the black seeds...I used to line them up on my plate when I was done and count them. The talk on some blogs today seems to be whether you salt your watermelon or not before eating? Nope, I salt apples and cantaloupe but not watermelons. Do check out the Watermelon Boards website for cool kid games, recipes and fun facts (like early explorers used to use Watermelons as canteens).
NOT AROUND FAITH YOU DON'T Today is also Grab Some Nuts Day (who thinks these days up anyway?). If you are a fan of country music you've probably heard about that woman who grabbed Faith Hills husbands (Tim McGraw for you non country fans) uh, private parts at a concert a few days ago. Faith was none to happy. If I was that "ballsy" woman I would just have pleaded that I was celebrating Grab Some Nuts Day a bit early!! (I know, but how could I not!!??)
How funny! Here I am sitting down with my Sugar Baby watermelon to read the blogs :) Yum.
