A funny story

Date: January 31, 2008 03:23PM I used to absolutely HATE melons. In fact, I called them, "Ick-ons." When my dh was cutting them up and trying to get me to eat them I would gag after taking a bite. I hate the texture, I hate the combo of crunchy and juicy at the same time. BLEH. My dad swears I am not his, because I do not like "Ickons." Well nonetheless I have received a lot of abuse for my dislike of such a loved fruit. Then my dh got the bright idea to blend a honeydew melon in the Vitamix and forced me to try this icky "Ickon" drink. He chased me throughout the house with this glass until I finally got backed into a corner. He HAS been good about trying all my weird raw creations, he reminded me, so I began to sip the "Ickon" drink. But oh my God - was this a totally different experience!!! I ended up stealing the drink, and it was HIM chasing ME throughout the house so he could have HIS drink BACK!! (Mission failed - I drank the whole thing!!! LOL)
MELONS are AMAZING blended !!!!!! It totally deals with the disgusting texture for me and has now become my most favorite food. I LOVE MELONS!!!!!! (Blended, though!) Angie Me (30), Joseph (24 mo.) Jeremiah (4 mo.) We are enjoying spring and being outside!!! Re: A funny story

Date: February 01, 2008 03:43PM Good for you for trying it. It just goes to show that you can't say you HATE anything, you just might not like the way it's prepared. When I was younger, I hated spinach, but it was because I always just had it from the can, Yuck! But now I love it, (fresh of course). I encourage everybody to try a food several different ways before saying they HATE it. I'm sure there's a way you'll like it. Re: A funny story

Date: February 01, 2008 03:58PM I do add about 1/2 cup of water - just enough to cover the blades and kind of get it going. Me (30), Joseph (24 mo.) Jeremiah (4 mo.) We are enjoying spring and being outside!!! Re: A funny story

i love persian melons when they are ripe so sweet and juicy tastes like candy tastes better than candy of course i can't believe anything tastes that good the texture to me is like a soft juicy custard cake so delectable interesting how different everyone is when i was six years old i used to hate apples and oranges now i eat the all the time i think it was because the apples that were store bought, covered in wax and grown on cardboard soil tasted like cardboard to me so no wonder i didn't like them but now i love them ( well... when they are grown on good soil.. .u can taste the difference) Re: A funny story
