      1. galen,
        For as long as I can remember watermelon has been a summer treat that I truly loved. (My birthday is in July and sometimes I asked for watermelon rather than cake.) We used to drive out toward Brenham to get Black Diamonds from roadside small farmers selling from the back of their pickup trucks, or home stands. They tasted like candy.
        Gotta tell ya, this recipe blows my mind. Having a hard time wrapping my head around it. LOL Looks beautiful….Interesting… I’m adventurous enough to Taste it… I’m saving the recipe… 😀
        However, I am Old School Texan when it comes to Watermelon … I want it plain, if possible chilled, sprinkled with salt. (The salt has blown many a Yankee’s mind. LOL)

        1. I will one day (reluctantly) try it with salt, only ’cause you said it’s good. Will report back.

          I may make the cake on the upcoming FALSE of July. Err, I mean 4th of July.

          Is it Independence yet? Oh well, at least we have watermelon.

          🙂

          1. My Mother always put salt and pepper on Cantaloupe… Hubby and his family ate it with gravy… (What can I say…Texans are a breed of their own. [and Proud of It!] LOL)

          2. It seems to have boiled down to Happy Picnic/Fireworks/Party Day. Like the other “Holidays”, the majority don’t know what they mean and really don’t care. To quote Hubby: “Don’t Know, Don’t Care, Don’t Give a F*ck!”
            🙁 😡
            Yes, at least we have watermelon. 😆

          3. Wait a minute. This is getting crazy!! What kind of gravy? I draw the line. Hee hee.

            Okay, since we’re confessing, my dad put olive oil and salt and pepper on oranges wedges.

            Out of the woodwork we come, with all our peculiarities.

            I’m getting all kinds of ideas for that watermelon cake. It won’t have gravy though, but I might find other ways to enhance it. Hmmm…

            🙂

          4. galen,
            Sausage gravy. Same as southern biscuits and gravy but with cantaloupe. (NO, I never tried it. LOL)

          5. Oh God, it’s getting worse.

            There was some early talk about continental shifts in the early days of archeology. Some asserted that Texas came in from a 5th hemisphere. Very mysterious. The history books scratched it and the truth lay dormant for many centuries. This could explain such an extreme and exaggerated sense of anomaly.

            Oh man, this was fun. Glad we could escape a bit. Now I must make dinner. No gravy on cantaloupe.

          1. 😀
            I’ve never heard of or tried it on apples. I’ll give it a shot. Thx.

          2. Angel, my b-day falls under the astrological sign of Cancer, the crab. I personally don’t claim nor identify with any of the good traits nor the bad traits that are assigned to the sign.

            I can be crabby and I can be bold as a lion. 🙂

  2. That looks delicious, but instead of whipping your own cream, it’s more fun to just suck the nitrous oxide out of a Reddi-Whip can. (and put it back on the store shelf)

  3. I don’t know your exact birthdays, but Happy Birthday, Katie and Angel. That you were born is a very good thing!!

    🙂
