I don't eat seeds...

My friend, Audrey (she's 3) got me on watermelon this season and I bought one the other day.  I cut it open today and I'll just say that trying to slice it all up nice and pretty isn't happening today!  My alternative???
Cut in half and use a melon baller as a spoon!  Why not?!?!  While we're on this subject...I am not a fan of false advertisement, why don't you just shoot me straight?  If the melon has small seeds that you can just swallow, just say "eatable seeded watermelon" (also I checked dictionary.com on the word eatable, and it's there and means "of food quality to be eaten") don't lie and said "seedless, because there are in fact seeds in there!  And while I know that you can eat them, I still prefer not to and attribute most of that to my Uncle David who told me when I was little that if I swallowed the seeds then watermelon vines would grow out my nose and ears.  Again, I know this isn't true, but you know how some things just stick with you??  This is one of those, and I choose to spit out the tiny seeds too!

Happy summer eating!  What's your favorite summer treat???

  1. I love watermelon, but unfortunately developed an allergy to any type of melon when I was about 12. BOO! My favroite summer treat has to be a Lemon Berry Slush from Sonic. Of course I LOVE fresh tomatoes from Barry's garden!

  5. I love love love watermelon! But like you I hate eating the seeds but it is such a tedious task trying to pick out those little bitty seeds in the so called "seedless" watermelons. So alas I am forced to chug them down if i want watermelon.

  6. Snow-cones are good this time of year but I have been really into cherries this season. They do have seeds but guess what!…I can spit a cherry seed farther than a watermelon seed and there's only one per bite, they aren't hidden like in a watermelon!

  7. Ha! Hilarious photo. I love me some melon. Mine & CC's favorite treat - slice a hole in a kiddy yogurt, stick in a plastic spoon or tongue depresser & freeze it. Yogurt popsicle. mmm.
