If your repertoire for cantaloupe is limited to slicing and eating on a plate consider the following: Cantaloupe Based Organic Fruit Salad (made with Cantaloupe, Strawberries, Pineapple, Blueberries and Banana) Cantaloupe Ice Pops (made with Cantaloupe, water, sugar and mint leaves) Cantaloupe Martini (made with pureed cantaloupe, water, sugar & lime mixed with Vodka & Midori) Not only are there many foods we haven’t tried but many different ways to serve the foods we now love.

If you’ve ever done any cabinetmaking you know that a good coat of shellac can really protect and beautify the wood. But did you know that the same stuff can also “beautify and protect” your food as well? Protect it from what…drying out, size reduction..the sort of things that keep it looking good even though it’s getting quite old. Now you might think I’m kidding. Well I’m not. And guess who has eaten shellac in the past? I have and you have as well, although we didn’t realize it at the time. When? When we thought we were eating healthy….Huh….
