I'm in FL. I forget where you are. Also, I've heard that the ritzy-er the locale, the higher Wal-mart's prices. Have no idea how ritzy your area is. :)Mrs. Happy Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213390265156442952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149284089481751192006-06-02T16:34:00.000-05:002006-06-02T16:34:00.000-05:00Now I'm just dying for a watermelon!Now I'm just dying for a watermelon!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142994274994642731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149278358461655542006-06-02T14:59:00.000-05:002006-06-02T14:59:00.000-05:00I must add this: Will you come and take me yard sa...I must add this: Will you come and take me yard saleing after baby arrives?

But to me, it's just plain being kind to another person. Heck, I hold doors open for everyone regardless of sex or age. Regarding how to use the watermelon...it never lasts that long around here! And don't you agree that seedless watermelon is the greatest agricultural invention ever?Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149261716568428902006-06-02T10:21:00.000-05:002006-06-02T10:21:00.000-05:00An immediate slice for each kid and me, then chunk...An immediate slice for each kid and me, then chunks...spatial efficiency, better for fridge storage. <BR/><BR/>TIP: Save the leftover drippy juice and freeze.

I prefer to eat my watermelon off the rind in large slices though, so we cut it in half and stick it in a jumbo sized ziploc bag (far more leak-proof than an other method I've found) and save it for slicing when we want to eat it.<BR/><BR/>We wash and reuse the jumbo bags and they usually hold up for most of the summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149251511740565812006-06-02T07:31:00.000-05:002006-06-02T07:31:00.000-05:00I had a similar thought last night, as I (5 months...I had a similar thought last night, as I (5 months pregnant) struggled to lift big bags of sandbox sand into my car. 4 men sat in a van right beside me & watched!

I always cut it all up in chunks and put it in the fridge. It doesn't last very long around here and it is easier to cut all at once so the kids can get some on their own. Just curious - how much was your watermelon? Mine was $3 at Super Walmart. No Krogers around here.Mrs. Happy Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213390265156442952noreply@blogger.com
