Honey, What's For Dinner?

I walked into the kitchen the other night and became concerned that Supreme Leader had converted us to cannibalism again. Or, she'd gone all zombie Julia Child.


Turns out it was just a watermelon and not a brain.


Heh, did I say 'cannibalism again?' I just meant cannibalism. Silly me.

    Well, that is awesome! I now know that I can sculpt a watermelon to look like a brain. Indy's b-day party is coming up (Indiana Jones themed-are you surprised?) and I was going to try to make jello brains (a la Temple of Doom), but now maybe I'll do watermelon instead. Thanks for the idea.

    The labels for this post include the terms "watermelon" and "zombies" next to each other, two words I never considered together. Fruit zombies? I can see them now shuffling about while groaning "cantaloupe".

    shit! Are you SURE that's a watermelon?? It kinda doesn't look like one! But then I've never seen one prepared that way, either.

    Great. Now fruit is going to creep me out too. Thanks a lot!

    I thought it was a bike helmet, at first. I bet watermelon rinds would make cool bike helmets. Except they wouldn't really protect your head if you hit something really hard. But they would look cool.

    Thank you for clarifying the "again" part, hehheh, good. I'll just stay over here, out of fork range, if you don't mind, though.

    Somehow, I feel bad for that watermelon. How demoralizing.

    Was it good? And do you sprinkle salt on it? I love watermelon with salt.

    Wow. Supreme Leader sure knows how to dissect a watermelon!

    Perhaps she might pursue a career as a Forensic Melonologist.

    Zombie Julia Child? That would be one knife wielding wine guzzling accented zombie. I've got to see that. From a distance of course.

    I made a cumin pork thing once and Tempel went around telling everyone we ate human for dinner. So yeah, we do the cannibalism thing sometimes too.

    Maybe it WAS a brain. The brain of a very dumb person because I'm thinking a really smart brain would have had more wrinkles in it. I mean...isn't that how all the knowledge stays put? Inside the wrinkles?

    Original looking watermelon. Horror as meal, interesting concept. It does so look like a brain. Have you eaten brain before so that you would think your wife was serving it again?
    I might try to carve a watermelon to look like this. I want to see if I can freak out my girls.

    That's the neatest pealed and cut watermelon I've ever seen. It's... sculpted almost! I butcher fruits when I try cutting and pealing them.

    Don't worry about the "again" part. Everyone has had a "cannibalism incident" in their life. It's like lesbianism for women.
