Follow this easy tutorial for How to Cut a Watermelon and enjoy the sweet and juicy treat all season long.
Happy official first day of summer!
The watermelon around here is already super sweet and juicy so I thought I’d teach you how to cut it into slices and cubes, perfect for popping.
Here’s how to cut a watermelon:
1. Wash and place your watermelon on a large cutting board.
Tip: I usually pick a watermelon with the biggest yellow spot I can find on the bottom. This means it’s been sitting in the sun the longest, and is therefore the ripest and sweetest.
2. With a large, sharp knife, slice the watermelon in half lengthwise.
3. Cut each half in half again lengthwise, so you have four quarters.
4. Cut the quarters into slices.
At this point, you could leave the wedges intact – perfect for party platters, etc – or go a step further and cut it up into cubes.
5. Slice the rind off, then cut into cubes.
Devour!!!!
26.5 I don’t feel like I’m in my mid-to-upper 20s… not that I know if there is a certain way one should feel or not! :) I still feel like I’m fresh out of college, even though it’s now been 4.5 years!
(Recently) 21!! I’ve been counting down to this one, so it’ll be interesting to see if I start freaking out having now reached the last big birthday to look forward to :)
Weird fact about me… I don’t like watermelon. That’s practically un-American, right?! I will eat it, the taste doesn’t totally gross me out, but I don’t particularly enjoy the taste.
I am 28 and am only just now freaking out about my age. I try to think like you and remember it’s only a number, but I don’t want to get any older! :(
Yeah, Like I was saying on your page, I’m 33. That means that 35 is less than two years away. I am kind of freaking out about that. Sooo hopefully healthy eating and running will keep the signs of aging at bay. If not there’s always Olay right? LOL
27 was a great year; I remember it well lol enjoy it cuz you’re beautiful and healthy. :)
I am going to be 23 in July. I don’t mind getting older, though I’m not that old to begin with. I am still in college, and a big part of me wants to be beyond that and into career world and settle into life rather than be running about like a crazy person every day with school, work and activities (not to mention family and friends time as well).
By the way…I just made a Green Monster drink. It was amazing, obvi.
27! I think aging is a gift. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. I think it’s a natural process and the years should just keep getting better and better!
I will be 25 in 10 days! I’m excited about it…I can rent a car! Woo! ;) I’m fine with getting older, yep!
I’m 31. I am getting more freaked out about my age. I remember when all I wanted was to be 21. Now it’s a decade later!! Where the heck does time go? We just had our first child, and it took a LOT longer than I had hoped/planned. We do want more, but not right away. And I don’t want to be having kids into my 40’s!! What a dilemma!! :)
i am a july baby too…turning 27 on july 14th, so i am right behind you! i feel your pain…i get excited about the day then i get frazzled, OMG 27! aahhh…i don’t feeel 27…then i let my thoughts stop there, because afterall like you said, it isn’t the number that matters. :)
I’ll be 30 exactly 2 months from yesterday and yes, it’s a little scary. I still don’t feel ready for many of the things others younger than me are doing. Okay, maybe it’s just the kid thing since I have owned my own home for 5 years and am married.
I’m 38. I don’t freak out about it though. It really is just a number. I still feel the same as I did when I was in my teens and twenties (no cricks or cracking)LOL. Plus it helps that I don’t look like I’m in my thirties. I always shock people when I tell them how old I am, they always think I’m between 20 and 22 (no lie). Life is good!! ;)
I’m 28 but I’ve stopped freaking out about getting older. People now don’t think I’m 28 so I figure I can pretend to be younger since people never believe I’m older. I don’t feel old so the number doesn’t bother me.
I’m 34 (I’ll be 35 in Novemeber), and it doesn’t really bother me that much. I don’t feel “old” by any means, and it helps that I look young for my age (thanks to my mom for the good genes!). I freaked out more when I turned 25 than I will when I turn 35.
