Melon Brain


No, it isn't an insult. It is something gross to eat on Halloween!

The picture and instructions are from Family Fun.

This is what you do to a seedless watermelon:

1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire green rind, exposing the inner white rind.

2. Slice off the bottom of the melon to create a flat base that will keep it from rolling. With a toothpick, outline squiggly furrows that resemble the folded surface of a brain.

3. Finally, carve narrow channels along the tracings with a sharp paring knife (a parent's job) to expose the pink fruit beneath the rind.
