Uncle John David's Dessert
Aunt Maggie came up from the South bearing beautiful produce from her and Uncle John David's farm. Ben was in heaven with a huge watermelon and a midget cantaloupe. That boy loves melons. Aunt Maggie rolled her eyes: they had meant to plant full-size cantaloupes, but then, Uncle JD would split the midgets in half, scoop out the seeds, and fill the bowl with vanilla ice cream.

I grew up doing this very thing, and though I haven't eaten my melon that way in YEARS, I was just telling Abigail about it recently. She thought it sounded gross. Not me! I LOVE it!
