A few weeks ago, I was at my neighbors house for our weekly pizza dinner when I volunteered to cut up some watermelon to add to our spread. I got to it and looked up to see my friends looking quite perplexed at how I was cutting up the watermelon – they had never seen it done that way before.
The following week, I was at a MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) meeting and my table was chit chatting about food prep. Several ladies chimed in that cutting up large fruits, especially watermelon, can be intimidating and that they just end up buying it pre-cut at the grocery store. I told them that if they “peel” off the rind it is so much easier. One of my mom friends, Dana, encouraged me to take a video the next time I was cutting up a watermelon, and so I did! I apologize for any camera shakes – I’m still figuring out how to better stabilize my phone attachment on my tripod.
