Sunshine, low
humidity for Oklahoma, 58%, light breeze, and no tornado’s in sight. Not a bad
day, I mean, even the animals are behaving. Cats are hiding and dogs are
sleeping and TV has nothing new or of interest. How can I pay for every premium
channel they offer, plus an add-on movie pack and still can’t find anything to
watch. The only thing left to add to my subscription are the Spanish and Russian
language packs, and I Don’t speak enough Spanish or Russian to watch a movie.
Even
Facebook’s a little slow and boring today. Sort of a melancholy day. The only
solution I can think of is something cool to eat on the porch. So here’s an
idea to enjoy;
Melon Salad:
Ingredients:
¼ whole
watermelon, cubed
1 whole
cantaloupe, cubed
½ whole
honeydew melon, cubed
Dressing:
1/3 cup
orange juice (About ½ an orange)
¼ cup lime
juice (About 1 lime)
2
tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons
grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon
honey
1/8 teaspoon
salt
Preparation:
Place melon
in a really large bowl, the kind you take to potlucks. Whisk the dressing
ingredients together in a separate bowl, then pour over the melon. Mix well and
taste. If the dressing is too strong, add more melon. And if you’re mouth-watering
hungry, add more melon.
You might
not want to make this too far ahead of eating as the dressing extracts a lot of
moisture from the melon. You’ll have a lot of liquid at the bottom of the bowl
in a couple of hours.
Feel free to
mix and match any melon or other fruit to the salad. Grapes or pineapple would
be good, but remember that berries break down quick, so they probably wouldn’t
be a good choice. Now, go sit on the porch, or couch, and enjoy.
