Nothing like something cool and refreshing to ward off the heat:
- Cut a watermelon into long strips.
- Remove the seeds and cut off the
green rind. - Now cut the pieces of melon into two-inch squares.
- Place these in a freezer and pack in ice.
- Let the fruit stand for about an hour, as it is not to be
frozen solid.
Served heaped in a glass dish. The pieces of melon may be sprinkled with sugar when they are put in the freezer. – Alaska Citizen, August 28, 1911
You can do this wih any melon of your choice.

I’m not easily impressed. . . but that’s iprmessing me!
I love reading these articles because they’re short but inforamtive.
Posted on Hi there, I discovered your blog by the use of Google at the same time as scaerhing for a similar matter, your web site came up, it looks great. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Hey – just found you via One Pretty Thing – congrats on being rfutaeed!Here’s and old school-no guilt tip: Use apple juice in place of water and plain ol’ Knox gelatine instead of the sugared stuff. You color compensate by adding a few drops of food coloring and some of those concentraited flavor oils (in the cake dec section of Walmart).You could really have a ball with the kids and surprise them with red colored watermelon that tastes like coconut, or pineapple, or lemon!
No more s***. All posts of this qaluity from now on
Thanks for the great info dog I owe you bigigty.
I love your comments of no one wnkoing how to cook fresh; it is all about coming out of can. Some of my most cherished moments are cooking with my 4 year old grandson. We make meals with herbs he picks from my garden, we peel fruit and we talk about healthly eating. Hope this helps him learn to eat a variety of things. At the High Plains Food Bank we are in the process of building a Kids Cafe Community Kitchen. We have just bought some land next to the food bank for the kitchen and an large additional space for a community garden. We have plans to use the product not only for sending out to agencies but for nutrition education for parents and children. Children need to know what to eat and parents need to know how they can prepare nutritious food on a budget and with time restraints. We are making two projects out fo this. One is the kitchen and one is the garden. It will be next year before we plant but we are hoping to start our compost within a month. We will be able to add some of our waste produce to our compost thus once again recycling. I am really excited about all of this but we must first have our funds and our community educated in nutrition. We are working on this daily. Thanks for suggesting this.
Love this combo. I once made a watermelon that I howeolld out by scooping melon balls out of half of it and then putting the balls back in the half of howeolld out watermelon (does that make sense?) but first you marinated the balls in a lime +mint simple syrup. Delicious and easy to spike for adult enjoyment!
Son of a gun, this is so heuplfl!
Sue great visuals of the cart.I agree our oiteranegn and our kids have become so depended on takeout other forms of prepared meals , I am afraid of what it is doing to us in the long term. The health affects , weight problems, blood pressure and other issues continue to rise . While we are able to get thru meal periods quicker and on to the next task, email , voice mail. Like it would never get done with out the conviences of the mircowavable Mac & Cheese . I really needed those extra 3 minutes in my life . You are correct like everything in life good food Takes time , why rush. Think about buying 1 whole chicken and the number of meals that can be made from it ,One tasty dinner with family and friends, , a Sandwich or 2 with the leftover chicken . And Finally a Slow simmering Pot of Chicken soup with the Bones ,with the those vegetable from the buttom of the fridge will TASTE great and be really good for you .Keep up the great writing . See you at the Share our Strength ,Conference of leaders .Keep in touch
I love this idea. I made it yesterday and my dtaehugr was very excited about it. Some info about it that I would pass on though:-I used a really small watermelon after my husband suggested it, and I’m glad that I did because it makes a TON of Jello. (Mine required only 2 boxes of Jello-so if you use all four, I hope that you are headed to a party!)-For an adult the chocolate chips do taste kind of weird in the Jello-I like the other girls’ idea of using pomegranate seeds.Thanks so much for all of the ideas! I LOVE your blog!
