Yay I know, your thinking, "This post is not about Succulents!" But this watermelon is so succulent that I thought it still fit. LOL
My son Parker came over last with a special treat. He works at The Nugget here in Roseville, CA. He is in the produce department. The Nugget is a wonderful upscale supermarket here in Northern California. They have anything you could possible want and then some. Every department in the store is well stocked with the best of the best. The bakery has the most wonderful baked goods. If I ever need a cake that is where I go. They are to die for.
Actually the whole store is a work of art. Even before you walk in the store you are greeted with wonderful displays of many different kinds of fruits of the season. All made to look like you are walking into a farmer's market. There is usually someone chopping up fruit who will give you a taste. Then you walk into the store and everywhere you look is eye boggling. In the produce department most of the vegetables are displayed in a artfully designed vertical wall unit. It is truly spectacular. It's that way all over the store. Beautiful displays and unusual hard to find items at every turn.
So to get back to my story. He walked in the house with this 1/2 of watermelon and and a big smile on his face. Big hugs and kisses (because it had been a week since I'd seen him) and into the kitchen we went. This watermelon had the most beautiful yellow flesh and the seeds were tiny and white. He said they were really yummy and very sweet. They are also on sale for $.25 a pound.

These watermelons look just like a regular one on the outside, it's not until you cut into it that you see the difference. This variety is called Yellow Crimson. Did you know that a watermelon is not a fruit! It is a vegetable related to the cucumber.
Parker whipped out one of my kitchen knives, peeled and chopped this baby up in no time! If you want to taste something in the produce department at The Nugget all you have to do is ask the wandering produce employee and they will cut it up for you to taste.
Jordan my oldest son was home with some of his friends. Everyone got a taste and really liked it a lot. A couple people couldn't get over the yellow part. They said their brain kept thinking it was pineapple. But it was really sweet and tasty!
So if you get a chance go check out your local Nugget market. And get the yellow watermelon while you can. It's really great!
It's Another Beautiful Day!
