Swirls, not Seeds
I finally cut open our “personal-sized” watermelon. It’s been a long time since we had a watermelon, but these little ones were on sale for a dollar each, so I brought one home. It sat on the counter for about … Continue reading

Finished Fig
Here is the third, and final, stage of our resident fig. It was good, but didn’t have a lot of punch as far as flavor. It was a nice between-meal treat, but I don’t think I would go to a … Continue reading
