With watermelon season aproaching, family bbq's in the works, and the sun shining.. (finally), we all know it's time for watermelon.
But... finding a ripe watermelon is one of those things....
One time I heard someone say to put a straw on top of it and see which way it rolls off.
Really?
Well my mom, taught me one way that has never led me astray.
NO THUMPING! NO SHAKING! NO ROLLING!
This is how you do it:
Scratch the outside of the watermelon. If some of the skin comes off under your fingernail it's ripe.
If not, it's not ripe. If too much comes off, then it's over-ripe.
That's it! Very Simple, easy, and guaranteed!
Plus, you won't have people looking at you funny because you are balancing it on one side, while scratching head, and singing the Watermelon Crawl.
Try it. You will love the results!
You don't ever have to go back to thumping another watermelon.
