Welcome to a new way of eating...

Sure, everyone promises that, "a new way of whatever"  Uugguguhhhh. Enough with the promises!
Let's actually do something different today.  Let's just choose to do it different.

Eat something new! that's OLD.
Try eating something old in a whole new way. Now there is a novel idea.
here's your canvas... make it tasty
Fruity & Salty  
Really melon and salt.  Why does melon and salt taste so good together? 
I discovered this magikal combination sitting on my grandma's back porch w/my 6 other cousins eatin watermelon and spittin the seeds. My grandfather walked out, plunked down next to me, sprinkle salt on his slice of melon and let me take a bite (yes, I was his favorite and he let me have the juicy heart bit at the very end... but he knew I was special). 

The melon was suddenly transformed into a taste explosion in my mouth and I smiled wide when he handed me the salt shaker and walked away.  A foodie was born on a hot summer afternoon.

Here is my recent mix of melon & salt

Ripe cantalope cut into bite size chunks and perfectly chilled in a crisp blue bowl. (yes, it's about the color as well... welcome to my madness)
Topped with a good portion of cottage cheese (at least 1%)
Sprikled with 1/2 a slice of crispy bacon chopped 

Thats it.. a big spoon and you're set. 
Warning, you're going to want a second bowl

In Joy
