Growing up as one of nine kids, Wal-Mart was almost exclusively where my parents shopped. I hate going into Tom Thumb and HEB to buy things that I know are cheaper elsewhere. And let's face it, Wal-Mart is cheaper.
But one thing I have learned about shopping at Wal-Mart on my own the last three years: they do not have great produce, especially fruit. Produce is one of the few things that I sometimes purchase at smaller stores.
However, a few weeks ago, I was shopping and got a sudden craving for cantaloupe. Little-known fact about me: I could probably eat a whole cantaloupe in one sitting. Just cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and I'll eat it with a spoon, using the rind as a bowl. LOVE. (Another little-known fact about me: I'm actually allergic to melons. My throat gets all itchy when I eat them, but I love them so much that I don't care. Ha.)
Anyway, Wal-Mart happened to have cantaloupes on special, so I went ahead and bought one.
Best. Decision. Ever.
It was seriously the ripest, sweetest cantaloupe that I have ever tasted. So, last week when doing my weekly shopping, I decided to try again. Who knew? Maybe I'd get lucky twice!
When I cut into it, I was ecstatic.
And really, who could resist that face? (Don't let the shirt fool you... he's a fruit monster.)
Needless to say... I'll be buying cantaloupes at Wal-Mart more often! Next time, however, I'll be taking Gabriel's shirt off before he eats. Melon apparently stains. Any suggestions for getting it out??
