creamsicles, dreamsicles

i bought a watermelon from the market this past weekend. one, 'tis the season for watermelon. two, i was contemplating giving up sugar for a time and wanted to have a very sweet substitute on hand. three, it was from a local grower.

imagine my surprise when i sliced into it and discovered its orange flesh.

have you ever eaten an orange creamsicle? (if not, i highly recommend you try one.) well, that is exactly what this melon reminds me of - both in look and in taste.

it gives real meaning to the phrase, "i'm loving it".

Never seen orange watermelon, it looks strange but nice, wanting to taste it and wonder if it is a cross between watermelon and cantaloupe.

Wow, that is something I have never seen! It does look tasty though, and I do enjoy orange creamsicles. :)

I don't like that McDonald's coined the phrase "I'm lovin it". I don't really eat at McDonald's, but every time I say "I'm lovin' it, I feel like I'm stealing, and I'm not. Many times I've typed in my fb status (just about life in general) and then had to delete it because it reminded of fast food.

But the melon looks delish!

Last summer my kids and I went on a melon-trying spree. Walmart actually had many types of melons in stock that season, and we had every one. Yellow, orange, pink, red, white, green. I don't remember the names of any except Santa Claus melon, Orange-fleshed Melon and San Juan Canary. But none quite looked like this. Now I'm thirsty for a try.
