Watermelons to me are the best thing about summer. A cold piece of watermelon with some salt will quench my watermelon love any day of the week. Seasonal foods , the watermelons are a reminder that seasons change. Put on a happy face or put on a semi-happy face. Life change, the weather changes, maybe your taste in music or movies change, circumstances change and the weather changes and life goes on.
My favorite watermelon is yellow watermelon but I will definitely eat red watermelon. If the temperature is warm then I like my watermelon semi-cold. Watermelon has so many uses that go from eating as is, to cooking with watermelon to watermelon salsa and watermelon fruit drinks. Don’t throw that watermelon shell because the watermelon shell can be used as a serving bowl for potato salad or salsa.
Watermelon Beverages. A delicious cold watermelon beverages is a great way to cool off. Watermelon beverages are some of my favorite beverages and they are easy to make. Cut the watermelon in cubes and put into the blender and add some water. Press liquify and Shazam the watermelon fruit drink is ready. The watermelon beverage can be extended to make watermelon Margaritas, watermelon martini and so on. Don’t forget that you can make watermelon ice cubes ice cubes for your beverages. Watermelon Popsicles are also a great way to stay cool plus adult popsicles can have some vodka etc.
Watermelon Salsa. Watermelon Salsa adds that special wow to many entrees. Watermelon salsa is delicious on top of pork chops, brisket, steak and a hamburger patty. Dice the watermelon in small cubes, cut some serrano peppers, onions, cilantro, salt and a bit of fresh lime juice. The number of serrano peppers used is a personal preference because of the hot level. The Watermelon Salsa is going to be put over meat therefore the hot level will be decreased. If the watermelon salsa is too hot you can squeeze some watermelon in the blender or with a fork and add that to the salsa.
Watermelon Cake And Cupcakes. I use Duncan Hines vanilla or yellow cake mix and then add watermelon juice for the liquid. You can use the watermelon juice that is in the watermelon or liquefy some watermelon in a blender. Simply substitute the watermelon juice for the amount of liquid the recipe calls for. If the liquefied watermelon is too thick then I add a little bit of water. I like to make my own frosting and powdered sugar always has a recipe for frosting. To ensure a moist cake before I put frosting on the cake, I poke tiny holes with toothpicks on the cake and then with a clean spray bottle spay some watermelon liquid to keep the cake and/or cupcakes moist.
Watermelon Grilled Slices. Watermelon slices are great because you can grill the watermelon outside on a grill or grill the watermelon on a grill skillet inside. The watermelon sweetness flavor is enhanced when we grill the watermelon on an outdoor grill or indoor skillet grill. Remember, Cookie Cutters are a great way to get creative and have the watermelon in different shapes.
In conclusion, the watermelon season also has a psychological application because watermelons show us that seasons change just like life changes. Watermelons come and watermelons go. Watermelons in the summer tell us that the cold weather is gone and watermelons along with warmer weather is here.
Remember, the watermelons are a reminder that seasons change. Put on a happy face or put on a semi-happy face. Life change, the weather changes, maybe your taste in music or movies change, circumstances change and the weather changes and Life Goes On.
