TIP OF THE DAY

Look the watermelon over Look for a firm, symmetrical watermelon free from bruises, cuts or dents.

Lift it up.The watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water.

Turn it over. The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot showing where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.

How do you know if a watermelon is going to be sweet? If you thump a watermelon and it sounds hollow, then you know it is going to be sweet and delicious.

You have no idea how much restraint its taking to NOT go buck wild lol!

Seriously....have I been made an administrator or something? Weird that I can edit OTHER people's posts!

Must....behave! Though I don't know how much longer I can hold out....hurry QL Admins!

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
