Musing about food

Yellow watermelon is a variety of watermelon with yellow flesh, naturally occurring and as natural as the more common red-fleshed watermelon.  It is known for its sweetness, sometimes described as honey-like or even with hints of apricot.  While it lacks the lycopene found in red watermelons, it offers other nutrients like beta-carotene and is a good source of vitamins A and C.  (I found this llustration online.)

You may wonder why I'm writing about yellow watermelons today.  On Friday, a neighbor wanted to share some chicken with me, which she put on a plate.  Then she started cutting up a yellow watermelon, which I tasted the minute I got in my apartment door because I have never even seen yellow watermelons, much less tasted one.  My Friday dinner was chicken and yellow watermelon, which I now highly recommend.  (Thanks, neighbor!)
