With the rest of the crew Never heard of this one shouted by you Of course that didn't matter to me As food causes me no glee..haha Be fun to use as a softball though Swing and splat they'd go..haha
yes, I can see you using them for something more than eating a slingshot or catapult would give them some beating You could guard bush #3 with such glee just shoot intruders with melons up to the heavens.
We had these last summer and they were pretty good. I knew it was grown out here but I am trying to remember what it said on the info about it. I guess I am doing good to remember that I had some, and sometimes suffering from CRS really screws with my memory.
Plus I am thinking that we bought it at our Costco, but then again it might have been at the regular grocery store. One of our larger Ralph's Grocery stores carries a larger variety of produce than some of the other ones. But then again we have lots of Mexican Grocery chains that have produce, of which I have no clue what to do with it, let alone what the heck it is.
Hubby wanted me to cook some Asian noodles he bought and I needed to use Bok Choy. He bought some and I had to look up on the internet to see what parts were edible and what it even was. It took a while but I found a video on epicurious.com. I found out it is like a cross between cabbage and celery. One thing I did not learn in the video is that you do not need to add salt because it is salty.
Maybe I need to take pictures sometime and see what one does with these strange things.
I make such a good Mexican. Can't speak Spanish, and can only make basic Mexican dishes, but since that was my dad's side, what can I say. And sadly I can only make one Filipino dish. Yup, my mom didn't learn about her heritage either. We seem to just cook like most people cook in the US, or as my oldest calls it, Cowboy Food.
I am still looking for a good, easy Scone recipe. Anyone know of one?
Don't think we have these in Australia - not that I've seen anyway.I will have to investigate further.
Ticklebear suggested I drop by for a visit. He thought I might like your blog.
I have four men in my family (one has now left home and has recently produced a junior 'man' for our clan) I like the look and feel of your blog and with one almost 17 year old in my house, I can't begin to imagine how you cope with 3 of them
I never heard of this, but seeing your picture makes me want to try it. You introduce your readers to the most interesting things!
Based on your sidebar, it sounds like you are experiencing some frustrations. Here are some virtual positive vibes, and hopes that your fortunes soon change.
I get the feeling lemonade has morphed into melonade this week for you. Hang in there.. and as they say round here, don't let the ... (expletives) get you down! Sending love and hugs.
Did you grow this in your garden? Sounds refreshing. We are growing Tuscan melons in the garden this year but not having much luck yet...they remain small. Maybe they need more heat...and that they are getting now... for sure. Hope you're keeping cool and enjoying your summertime with your men.
Hey Betsy...in reading your sidebar about today....just a thought...but could Spencer be cutting wisdom teeth?? I thought maybe brushing was painful. I only mention it, because we had the same situation here with my guy. Hope your lemonade day was more sweet than sour!! :) Julie
I've never heard of it. How interesting. The truck in your header is the same color of the melon...wouldn't you love to see a truck load of them piled in the back of it?
whoa! never heard of it! and i have been all over! going to keep my eyes peeled now... think we could make it into a cocktail? ha :-D thanks for posting, as always i love your blog :) -meg @ http://clutzycooking.blogspot.com
A new-to-me fruit that I had to try!
Never seen one out here in Cali!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it in MN!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth ~ it was grown there! :)
ReplyDeleteinteresting...have never heard of it...do like honey dew
ReplyDeleteIs the fruit have the same texture as a honey dew? It's very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteRebecca ~ yes! Its exactly the same texture as a honey dew.
ReplyDeleteLove all melon except for watermelon. Sounds yum!
ReplyDeleteSo, does that mean that "When life hands you Lemondrop Melons, make Lemondrop Melonade?"
ReplyDeleteEven your new header looks lemony!
Really? Must have been in Socal -- will keep my eyes open at our markets on the Central Coast.
ReplyDeleteWith the rest of the crew
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this one shouted by you
Of course that didn't matter to me
As food causes me no glee..haha
Be fun to use as a softball though
Swing and splat they'd go..haha
Interesting! I have never seen one of these before.
ReplyDeletePat ~
ReplyDeleteyes, I can see you using them for something more than eating
a slingshot or catapult would give them some beating
You could guard bush #3
with such glee
just shoot intruders with melons
up to the heavens.
New one to me too! Wonder if the drink business will make "Lemondropmelonade" . . . sound revolting! LOL
ReplyDeleteSingle serving size!
ReplyDeleteA catapult be fun to
ReplyDeleteGreat idea by you
never heard of or seen it..sounds and looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteWell I know I will have to look for this.. I love honeydew and I love lemons. I think it would be so good to add to a green salad.
ReplyDeletePat ~
ReplyDeleteI feel a post coming
about lemondrop melons
not sweet like mine
but bomb-droppingly sublime
Wanda ~ they would be great in a salad! yum!
ReplyDeleteEddie ~ it doesn't sound revolting! lol....A fruit smoothie would be great...or maybe you don't call them that over there?
ReplyDeleteYeah you gave me an idea
ReplyDeleteI added it to my list to give a cheer
So it will pop up sometime
In the usual way, rhyme
You Mid-Westerns are always coming up with great things.
ReplyDeleteWith a review like yours,I hope they send some this way.

ReplyDeleteSounds nice and it's fun to try new things!!
ReplyDeleteFi ~ well wasn't that nice of Ticklebear! I'm glad you stopped by and said hello! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like the fruity equivalent of those wonderful sherbet lemon sweets we used to get as kids. Did you have them over in the States?
ReplyDeleteAlan ~ I don't think I've ever heard of your childhood sweet. Sounds wonderful, though!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this one. I'll be looking for it though.
ReplyDeletePS: Love the new header picture!
