Grilled Watermelon

By attosa

Watermelon flipped on grillIf you haven't tried grilled watermelon yet, I beg you, please try it! It turns the common granular, sweet and juicy melon into some bizarre sweet and savoury, firm, meat-like treat that is beyond words. The great thing is, it's so incredibly cheap and easy to do! This is the simple-as-can be method, but you could try using different spices if you'd like. I urge you to try this on its own, though, so you can experience this incredible texture. If you don't have a grill, you could even bake it.

I no longer have to get on my knees and scrub. As a senior citizen, it helps me keep my shower so clean.

Get More From Your Brassicas

By ShirleyE

cooking tiny cauliflowersWhen harvesting your brassicas, leave the root in the ground with a few leaves still attached. In a few weeks time you will find you have tiny cabbages sprouting out from the stump which can be used as spring greens in late summer! Also baby cauliflowers and broccoli sprouts.

Pencil Box Drawing Kit

By lalala...

green plastic box with drawing suppliesMy kids love to draw in the car, at restaurants, and while they are sitting around waiting at places. It seems like the supplies are always getting spread out, getting lost, or getting ruined.
