Cantaloupe-Colored Mint-Leaf Streamline Baby
It's that season of "push," that you can feel in the air. That feeling of exhaustion simply by virtue of the fact that it's November crushing in on your psyche. Well, with this month's Sugar High Friday theme, Beta Carotene Harvest hosted by Canadian blogger Leslie who writes Definitely Not Martha, feel the crush no more (why thank you Canada!).
I stepped out of my "must use oven," "must include dairy and grains" mentality for 5 seconds to uncover this delicious recipe. Granted this is a very unseasonal way to get beta carotene.
Trader Joe's provided these delicious cantaloupes for the recipe. These high carbon footprint, shipped from Goddess-knows-where melons brought to life everything the author writes about it. Honey is a lovely sugaring agent too.
FabulousFoods.com, where I found this recipe, is it was created by Sheri, a circus performer who has travelled to every state and Canadian province in North America.
What's with the title, you ask? It's a play on Kandy Colored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, by Tom Wolfe. (When you're bored, you never need to reinvent the wheel).
About the picture: Pasha the cat contemplates the photographer's lack of a spoon in the staged photo.
Looks lovely and fresh.

Hi Rachel
ReplyDeleteThanks v much for the comment on my blog! In answer to your question, the picture is taken in the national park on Mljet island, not far north from Dubrovnik. There's a monastery on a little island in the middle of a lake in the forest, very pretty. I loved your Dubrovnik pics, the sea and the sky look so blue.
The knitting with ropes is amazing! Tough on the old hands I imagine, but really really impressive :)
