365 {7.31.11}

I LOVE watermelon!! It is my favorite fruit! Last year I read a blog post on how to cut up a whole watermelon quick and easily~I was all over that!! Cause the way I used to do it took forever and made a mess. So I figured since I had this bad boy on my counter ready to cut up for the week...I would use it as my 365 photo.

I start out by cutting the ends off the watermelon, then cut it in half.

Then using a sharp knife, cut along the outside, getting all the rind off (I put a plastic grocery bag in the sink to keep the rind in, then just throw it out).

Then cut strips.

Then bite size pieces (we have big mouths here, LOL!!).

It takes me about 10 min from start to finish!!
Finished product...Big bowl for the week, snack for our lunches tomorrow, and of course what I couldn't fit in the bowls is a little snack for me *wink*

    Thanks for the tip on cutting watermelon, Gretchen. I think I have been cutting it all wrong my entire life (well as long as I have been using a knife :).

    Okay Gretchen. I bought a watermelon today and tried your method of cutting. Worked like a charm. When my hubby saw me starting on the cutting he was going to help me. He got a different knife and said "why don't you do it this way?" I said "NO, I want to try it the way I saw on the internet. LOL.
