Perfect food for this weather

[topum]

Melons and watermelons are in season here. You just chop one off the vine, split it in two, keep one half and give another half to someone else. Then you just eat it with your knife. They are so sweet and juicy, it probably takes me a about five minutes to be done with my half.

The kids also bring us chilled ones with our lunch. Cold watermelons are perfect in this heat.

I love melons.  Honey dew and watermelons are my favorites.

It is easy with me, pretty much anything edible is my favourite, ha ha. They have already learned here that I need quadruple portions of everything. And they constantly ask where it all goes and why I do not put on weight. I think they suspect I use the food for some ritual sacrifices in the forest, ha ha.

Ha!  well atleast you're not picky about food. 

I love most food.  Except octopus and tapioca pudding.  With both it's more of a texture thing then a flavor thing.

Ahhh such simple pleasures. That's a lot of watermelon! These are not wild, right? They're farmed?

[topum.livejournal.com]

Yes, these are farmed. Somewhat ). They are not all hell bent on squeezing every last penny from every plot of land in our village so the farming is relaxed, "we'll have what we'll have this year" style.

I *love* cold watermelon on a hot day. It's the best.

Your fruit posts make me want to go get stuff from the farmer's market. Like right now.

It is so great to be able to just step out of the house and pull them off trees in our garden here.

Summer is almost over and I can't believe I haven't had a single watermelon

You can change that today. You still have a couple of days to make sure that your summer wasn't watermelonless ).
