Hello!! How’s it going? Over here it’s going good! I’m very busy eating all the watermelon in America and trying to get my life together. The usual.
But before we get into another love letter to watermelon I have a BIG CONFESSION…
Remember last week I was painting my kitchen and said I would be living without a microwave for 10 Days? I called it Operation: Live without a Microwave because I am extremely lazy both with naming things and obviously with heating food.
Anyway.
I failed.
It sounds like you had an interesting experience using a microwave on your patio and were able to repair it without assistance after reading about the issue on microwavegeek.com. It’s great that you were able to fix it and continue to use the microwave. It’s also important to note that it is not recommended to use appliances outside as they may not be designed to withstand weather conditions and may not function properly.

Note to you: Be glad you’re not my neighbor and/or my friend who has to pretend like this behavior is normal because you still need me to cut your watermelon.
I’m super excited about a few food things right now and wanted to share…
First – I found this granola at the 99 Cent store. It is amazing and um… only 99 cents!! I’ve been putting it on smoothies, eating the big chunks whenever and now it’s pretty much gone. The end.
The bulk bins at any/all stores that have bulk bins are still my favorite. I love being able to get a few delicious candies. If I buy a whole container they will be gone within 24 hours no matter how big the package.
Avocado on all the things!
I feel like I’m choosing what to eat lately based on what I can put avocado on (which is basically everything except cereal).
I went over to my mom’s yesterday and proceeded to eat all her food. She makes the BEST tuna. Is that weird?
Does that kinda say she isn’t the best cook because I feel like this is noteworthy??
This just occurred to me. Oh well, I already wrote it so I’m gonna roll with it.
In addition to the above average tuna, she had a watermelon just waiting for me to cut. I offer watermelon cutting services to all my family and one friend.
And watermelon cutting isn’t my only skill – I’m also good at eating and knowing what to order at restaurants!
First… always get a margarita.
For me. Then, order yourself whatever you want, thanks.
Second….
If you are at a place that makes handmade tortillas – order a side of them to eat with salsa or guacamole (with the chips/salsa you get when you sit down). Trust.
The rest is less important, but this salad was actually amazing and packed with tons of veggies and pepitas and cotija cheese.
Dessert was a warm brownie with ice cream made with abuelita chocolate. It was so amazing I didn’t take a picture.
But I did manage a picture of the Pacific Ocean minutes before a big wave came and wet my dress…
Note the Band-Aid I’m sporting on my knee… my scraped knee is still healing and looks kinda gross right now.
Question: Are you good at any random / house / cooking / craft thing?
Me: Cutting watermelon!

I feel like I’m pretty decent at most house work stuff, but just not really fantastic at any of it…I’m a pretty good cook/baker. I am a pretty excellent window cleaner (unless the windows are too high, then I can’t reach them…)

I’m always choosing the wrong watermelon. Have you shown us how to pick a good one? Thanks!!

My mother would tell you I’m good at cleaning bathrooms, but I’m pretty sure she just says that to get me to clean it for her. Watermelon cutting is a great skill to have!

I saw this and knew I had to share it. I’m running out today to buy one for myself. It’s a watermelon keg. 🙂

I am currently trying to discover any craft thing I am good at and have been unsuccessful. I can cook 2-3 dishes at once that share ingredients in common when I do meal prep for the week. My husbad says it is impressive when I am using every pan in the house and every counter in the kitchen. Question: Do you wrap the guac in the tortilla at the restaurant? If not, what is your strategy when eating the guac and tortillas together?
Karin B says
Um, you forgot the most important detail….
What’s in the tuna? Inquiring minds need to know. Also I’m looking to up my tuna game and need inspo.

I’m pretty good at cleaning three rooms at once. Well I never really finish cleaning any of them. But I jump around from room to room thinking I’m so efficient. Lol. #not

I am actually pretty good at cutting watermelon too….
I cut it in half, take one half and cut horizontal and vertical cuts (squares) through it then scoop out the cut piece….repeat with other half and …..easy peasy lemon squeeze…done.
