Just had my first watermelon of the season, very sweet, good price, from Lidl, and for me, Memorial Day food has lived up to my best expectations.

Also had friend chicken and corn on the cob, but it was the watermelon that really got my tongue happy happy!

What did everybody eat today that was good?

1. One time when I was a teenager I ate enough watermelon at one time that

I had gained 5 pounds. The next day the weight was gone. Glory be to the teenage years.

Love watermelon, in the spring I can actually smell it in the air.

2. Yum! I love watermelon, and especially the Sugar Baby variety

Haven't gotten one yet this year but have had two very tasty canteloupe.

3. I love melons.

I like to get a watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon and cut them into chunks and mix them together and then put poppy seed dressing on them. The combination is just so tasty!

4. Did you salt it?

I grew up putting salt on my watermelon. I wonder if that's a regional thing. Or maybe my family was just weird.

5. I grew up eating it with salt and it really does

make it sweeter. I grew up in the Midwest, Southern Illinois, and my dad taught me to eat it that way.

Unfortunately, salt doesn't really like me any more so I haven't done that in several years.

6. Yeah, I'm not supposed to abuse the salt

But it's so much better with it!

I grew up in TX, DFW area.

7. Watermelon is our absolute favorite. YUM!

We easily go through a whole watermelon every week, and God forbid we run out of it. Our cravings have driven us to the grocery at some very weird times to replenish.

8. That's how I was feeling today.

I mean I HAD to have watermelon. I convinced my roommate to pick one up and the minute she put it on the counter I was attacking it with a knife, slicing it open. It was a vicious attack on my part, but I am not sorry at all.

9. I have stopped buying watermelons

because in recent years the ones I get aren't very sweet at all and have a funky flavor. They are nothing like the watermelon of my youth, or even a dozen years ago.

Sigh.
