I counted about 5 baby sized watermelons in the garden this morning. Yea! I can't wait to make fun recipes with juicy watermelon this year. I was searching around on the Internet and found the National Watermelon Promotion Board. Lots of recipe on there.
Yesterday, after I picked cucumbers, I started looking for different ways to cook them or healthy toppings. I remembered, that on the movie "Julie & Julia" she made braised cucumbers. So, I am on the search for many recipes, with the goal to not let anything go to waste in the garden. I have to say that movie really influenced me on trying new recipes.
I even sliced one cucumber up, cooled it in the fridge and used them to cool our eyes. Temperatures were up to 94°F here and extremely humid. We did end up eating those too - ha ha ha! However, if you have never place cooled cucumbers on your eyes, you are really missing out on a at-home spa treatment. It felt great!
