Melons of Summer

     Summertime is filled with special eats and a juicy melon has to rate somewhere near the top. We picked up two beauties at the farmer's market on Saturday morning - both were so large we picked them up on our way out because our arms would have ached if we'd carried them much further than directily to the car. The flesh of the Honey Rock Cantaloupe was thick and orange while the Honeydew was somewhat smaller but a lovely pale green. Cut into bite-sized cubes and combined, the two melons created a simple but simply beautiful medley. Besides being pretty, the bowl was full of Vitamin A, C and beta-carotene, but that fact is forgotten after the first luscious bite.
