Watermelon Bowl

Check out my snack:

Awhile ago I was curious if there was a better way to cut up a watermelon - one that didn't take half my life and wasn't so messy.  I got on YouTube and was very happy with the first video I clicked on:

I love that this older guy is up with the technology and posting videos on YouTube.  I don't even know how to edit videos...I'm sure it would be easy if I just decided to learn how.  But I don't and he does so I think he's cool.  

Anyway, I had this mini watermelon and I cut it using the fancy new way I learned and went outside to enjoy the sunshine, ate my melon out of it's 'bowl' and read a good book.  Yay!

Cranberries

Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. They are full of health-promoting antioxidants, which combat free radical activity and protect against damage to cellular structures and DNA. Recent studies show that this berry may also promote gastrointestinal and oral health, prevent the formation of kidney stones, lower LDL(bad) and raise HDL (good) cholesterol, aid in recovery from stroke, and even help prevent cancer.

Good news!!! Cranberries are in season! Everything holds their highest nutritional value when fresh and cranberries are at their peak from October through December.
