Watermelon, My Way
Check this out!!! Get a variety of great summer melons - red
watermelon, seedless yellow watermelon, cantaloupe, Galla, honeydew,
etceteras. Put them all into a deep tub, large cooler, or vessel
big enough to hold them all leaving room for some ice. Cover
them completely with ice and add water. Soak for two hour so
the melons get very cold. Get the largest, freshest gingerroot,
or roots you can find. Split the root(s) in half then slice
a few limes. Remove the melons from the water and slice them
according to their shape. Arrange them on a platter or right
on the picnic table atop some large greens like collards or
romaine. Arrange the split ginger beside the melons with the
sliced limes. Take a slice of melon, rub it on the ginger, and
then squeeze some lime on it. WOW!!!! Summer!
