I believe that the yellow watermelons are called sugar babys. At least thats what my grand parents in Mississippi use to call them. Haven’t seen them any where else tho.

SQUARE MELONS = GMO / GMO = SEEDLESS / SEEDLESS = BEE POPULATION / EAT HONEY = YOU HAVE NO SEEDS……NWO will fall!

Personally, it drives me nuts that I can’t often find a good seeded watermellon in supermarkets anymore! Although it admittedly makes the job of mothers of infants easier, for me seeds are half the fun! You can eat ‘em too (and the rind- you can pickle it, etc.), but they’re pretty croonchy.

Watermelon + chile powder + salt + lime = delicious.

Stacey is right: Yellow is superior. I eat them all summer long when visiting family in Guntersville, AL. Grown locally, sometimes sold from the back of a pick up truck on the side of the highway, always delectable. But they are harder to find.

When I was a little kid I had this weird dream where I was sitting on the back porch of my house eating watermelon; some of the seeds went down my shirt and turned into mice. Very vivid. I still remember it. As a result, I avoided watermelon for at least two decades.

Now I’ll eat it, but I prefer the seedless varieties. Served up cold, hold the mouses.

Ah, watermelon! Brings back so many good memories of summer. I considered it a huge milestone when I was able to carve up one of those suckers all by myself a few years ago. We’d cube it up and nosh on it after dinner for a refreshing dessert.

â€œif itâ€™s wet and not yours, donâ€™t touch it.â€ made me do a double take. Why do I get the feeling that you quoted your band teacher there?

Here in south central Texas, it’s customary to eat watermelons (and any other fruit) with chile powder. I’m not the hugest fan of it, but it’s not bad. I prefer plain myself.

In any case, watermelons always remind me of home where we grew them in our melon garden. Yum!
