Ravings of a Textual Deviant

Last night at the grocery store I saw this wacky-looking thing in the produce department. Appropriately enough, it’s called a horned melon. I’ve got no idea what do with one, although a few minutes of googling turned up the fact that it has a “cucumber-lime” flavor, shouldn’t be refrigerated, and that one eats the flesh around the seeds, like a pomegranate.

Next to it, positively sedate by comparison, were pepino melons (which I’d never heard of) and purple potatoes (which I had heard of, but never expected to see in Indiana). Now, I know what to do with potatoes, and I think I can safely say that some fun is going to be had. Possibly at Ed’s expense, but that’s what he gets for not reading my blog.
