Angela loves all melons. But we don't buy them very often because there is
just sooo much meat in a melon. She can never eat it all before it goes
bad. When I find cut up ones, we will buy a piece or some chunks.

Last summer, Central Market had a melon tasting. They must have had 50
kinds of melon there! I didn't know so many existed.

She ran around with toothpicks, picking chunks out of the ice and eating
them. Then when it came time to buy some, she couldn't decide. She finally
chose two. And wouldn't you know... They never got eaten. Went bad before
I could fix them.

I used to buy a lot of them in NY. I have a couple of platters that are
full of that blue ice type stuff. You keep them in the freezer and they
will keep your food cold for a couple of hours or more, even on a hot day.
I used to cut up lots of fruit and put it outside for all the kids. We went
through a ton of fruit there!
