The Daily Balance

Welcome new readers!

Just a quick reminder that this site make a lot more sense if you start here and read this.

Keeping with the Memorial Day theme, I enjoyed some watermelon for a snack this afternoon (because who doesn’t eat watermelon at a Memorial Day picnic?!).

Watermelon, most notably praised for its high vitamin C content, is one of my favorite summer snacks and really signifies the beginning of the season for me. (for more nutritional benefits, click here)

Good thing I like it, because I purchased the largest watermelon the store had — what? They were $3.99 EACH – might as well get the most bang for my buck!

After cutting this bad boy for about 30 minutes yesterday, I was left with more than 5 sizable containers of watermelon. Looks like the Mister and I will be bringing watermelon to each of our family cookouts this weekend (unless I eat it all first!) — Hopefully I won’t swallow too many seeds! I don’t want a watermelon family growing in my stomach! Or do I?!

Sweet enough for dessert!

   That’s so funny because when I was little my grandpa told me that the seeds would grow in my stomach and I totally believed him!

   You got a lot of watermelon out of that one.

   I haven’t had any yet, but looking at yours, I have to have some this weekend!

   Enjoy the holiday!

   i’ve never liked watermelon. all melons, actually. they’re the only produce i can think of that i don’t like!

   peaches are the quintessential summer fruit, to me!

    I was so bummed the other day (ok not SO BUMMED but I noticed) when I ponied up the cash for a seedless watermelon for the toddler and lo & behold there were a lotta black seed inside.

    but yes.

    we ate it until we both had stomach aches anyway

    [...] am ALL ABOUT the melon lately. While the true mark of summer is a big, juicy bite from a WATERMELON, I’ve been enjoying my fair of cantaloupe [...]
