Date: July 05, 2010 08:17AM I have never seen a more amazing sale on cantaloupe in my life!!! The smallest ones are over 3-lbs, I've even bought many so far that are over 5-lbs!!! and they are all $1 each!!!!!!!!! now, Im enjoying eating them all by themselves, but does anybody have any ideas for recipes (other than smoothies) using cantaloupe? I had an idea of freezing cantaloupe in small pieces, then on tuesday when I get my omega 8004, maybe make some blueberry cantaloupe sorbet?! any other ideas?  (raw cantaloupe soup is out too...LOL...)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: Cantaloupe!!!!!!!!!!

Date: August 20, 2010 01:46AM I have been combining watermelon rind with kale, carrots,and red lettuce in juices, and eating watermelon and mangos and nectarines, and I have had no problems... I have noticed feeling uncomfortable if I eat allot of watermelon by itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: August 20, 2010 03:04PM I can't eat melon with anything else at all. Even eating it on it's own makes me burpy, I suspect that would, erm, change if YKWIM were I to combine melon with other foods. Not so nice.
I'll try freezing it, it's happening locally here and they are just yum delish! Re: Cantaloupe!!!!!!!!!!

Date: August 20, 2010 11:12PM hmmm, I wonder whats different about my gut that makes me able to more easily digest melon and combine it with other stuff? anybody have any ideas? I dont have a clue... I mean, juicing has helped my digestion ALLOT, but Im sure allot of you juice as well, so that cant really be the main difference...i dunno...
for me, I found cantaloupe is nasty when defrosted, but makes a very interesting sorbet, I enjoyed it more with strawberries than anything else, im thinking though of trying it with some kinda veggie, maybe cucumber? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: August 21, 2010 12:10AM Yah, everything is yuck when defrosted. So mooshy! Some foods tend to make me burpy, apples, cukes, melon. I eat the apples and melons alone mostly but the cukes are ok in salad. Re: Cantaloupe!!!!!!!!!!

Date: August 21, 2010 12:36AM Cukes makes me burp too! nomatter what else I ate it always tastes like cucumbers too... so Ive decided to start eating cucumbers at the end of the meal... weird though, it doesn't happen with pickled cucumbers... Apples dont bother me at all, I love them, but cheap wal-mart apple juice makes me sick and burpy... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Date: August 21, 2010 01:52AM Maybe they are musk melons if they are big like that? I always wondered if the names are interchangable or if musk melons are the large ones. I also think they have more water... Re: Cantaloupe!!!!!!!!!!

Date: August 21, 2010 02:02AM I thought musk melons looked a bit different... but whichever they are, they taste the same, and they where awesomely delicious...and cheap!!! I still have some left frozen in juicer sized chunk (scooped them out with a spoon!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?
