Doesn't Get Any Sweeter

Tonight, we finished the half-watermelon from the Noe Valley Farmers' Market. JP bought it three days ago for $3, a nice pink hunk of sweetness. This is really good melon, my friend. If you can, avoid the supermarket and get your sugar from a farmer. Words cannot describe the juiciness, the deep melon flavor that goes from the reddish heart to the whitish rind. Sitting in the back yard on a warm July night with a bowl of just-harvested watermelon is enough to make you feel like a kid again. But without the mosquitoes.
