Here's something to try at home (maybe on Labor Day, if you like to cook). Greenz is featuring a special appetizer that's a watermelon cup filled with feta cheese, red pepper and marinated onion with a dash of pepper and mint. When we saw one going to a nearby table (yeah, yeah, I'm a food voyeur) , we had to know what it was. How do you make a watermelon cup? Use two sizes of mold. Don't have molds? Use a large glass and a small glass (or cans, like a beer can and a frozen OJ can). The waiter who described the two-mold method didn't explain how the chef does it, but I'm going to guess he or she starts out with a watermelon quarter, pushes the big mold down and cuts horizontally just below the mold. Once the solid round piece is out, use the smaller mold to cut out the interior flesh, leaving a ring of watermelon. Or, you could just go by and check it out, and leave the labor to the pros. |

Ah, we owe this all to seedless watermelon. And does anyone except me think they are NOT an improvement over the seeded kind? Also, while they were taking the seeds out, horticulturists -- or whoever did it -- seems to have let the yellow watermelon die on the vine. It wasn't common, but each season used to offer some. Only problem with it was that it sometimes mixed genes with the red kind. The resulting orangish melons often had an odd taste.
