Watermelon Cake
White cake mix (for 2 layer cake)
2 packages cherry Kool-Aid type drink mix
White frosting
1 cup granulated sugar
Green food coloring
1/3 cup raisins
Flour
Ingredients according to cake mix directions (water, oil, eggs, etc.)
Oven safe Pyrex mixing bowl
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour oven safe mixing bowl. Be sure that your bowl is completely oven safe. It must say it right on the bowl to be assured of being oven safe. Most glass bowls are not oven safe.
Put cake mix in another bowl with 2 packages of Kool-Aid type drink mix and 1 cup of sugar; stir to combine. Add ingredients listed on cake mix package and mix as directed.
Roll raisins in flour and add to finished cake mix (just raisins not any extra flour). Pour into oven safe bowl. Bake 50 to 55 minutes. Checking every 5 minutes after 40 minutes. Check for doneness with knife inserted in center of cake. When it comes out clean the cake is done. Remove from oven. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto cake plate to remove cake. Let cool completely.
Stir green food coloring into frosting a few drops at a time to make a nice light green. Frost cake, bringing spatula from the bottom to the center (the unevenness of the frosting will resemble where the vine was attached to the watermelon. Squeeze a few drops of food coloring onto a small dish. Dip tip of your frosting spatula into the color and onto the cake in a radial pattern. Do this around the whole cake. Don't worry if streaks are too dark; when you do the next step they will lighten up and, besides, the streakier the better for a watermelon cake. Starting at sides of cake run spatula all the way up the cake and almost to the center and then stop. Repeat this all the way around the cake.

Watermelon Beefsteak Tomato 25 Seeds - Impressive!View This Product at Amazon
HEIRLOOM. Pink tomato. 85 days. An amazingly big and meaty beefsteak. Some weigh 2 lbs. and more. The seed cavities are tiny, and the centers are solid with firm, bright red flesh. Very impressive. Pink-skinned tomatoes occur as a result of a clear skin over red flesh. (Ordinary red tomatoes have yellow skin over red flesh.) When ripe fruits retain green pigment, tomatoes take on purple and brownish hues.

No Paid HolidaysView This Product at Amazon
Watermelon Slim is a relatively new luminary of the blues, rapidly building a career behind four albums and constant touring. In 2008 Slim was nominated for six awards, a feat matched only by the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Robert Cray. Slim has twelve nominations in the last two years, a feat unmatched in the event's 29 years. The highly anticipated follow up to 'The Wheel Man' is entitled 'No Paid Holidays' and features Lee Roy Parnell on slide guitar.

The Wheel ManView This Product at Amazon
This Oklahoma City singer and slide guitarist is at the creative apex of traditional blues. He took the roundabout route to get there--fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, officiating at funerals, and working as a trucker, forklift operator, saw miller, firewood salesman, and collection agent until a near-fatal heart attack compelled him to find his calling as a bandleader in 2002. Slim's fourth album since then is even sharper than 2006's critically heralded breakthrough Watermelon Slim & the Workers. It's a devil's playground for his weathered-oak voice and Delta-fueled six-stringing, full of stories of crime ("The Wheel Man"), lust ("Peaches"), and sin ("Jimmy Bell"). For Slim, that's par for the course, but this time he's drafted Chicago blues stalwart Magic Slim for a terse, burnished solo and vocal turns on the title tune and piano great David Maxwell to make three other numbers sparkle and jump. Yet some of the most compelling songs, like the howling a cappella "Jimmy Bell" and the slide 'n' vocal turn "Judge Harsh Blues" are Watermelon Slim alone. And that's enough. His sound and his soul are packed with true, natural grit. --Ted Drozdowski

The Watermelon WomanView This Product at Amazon
Cheryl Dunye has transcended the usual pitfalls that pockmark most lesbian-themed movies: specifically, the usual angst and suffering that occur when the gay gal falls for a heterosexual friend. The Watermelon Woman is more a cultural document, addressing speculative sociological gay history themes with an interesting and engaging cover story about a video store clerk named Cheryl (played by Dunye) who, in her research for a movie, comes across an old-time black actress simply called "the watermelon woman" and becomes obsessed with her persona. In the process, Cheryl finds herself embroiled in a relationship that parallels that of her icon.
What makes The Watermelon Woman special is its layered story line and its willingness to present its characters as comically flawed. Dunye also creates an aura of mystique around the enigmatic watermelon woman, and her life and tribulations become fascinating to the viewer. Even Camille Paglia shows up to make commentary about the "actress," and while the story-within-a-story concept is tricky, the power and purpose of the movie emerges, and the character becomes as fascinating as if she were flesh and blood. --Paula Nechak

WatermelonView This Product at Amazon
February the fifteenth is a very special day for me. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. It is also the day my husband left me...I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated.
Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he's leaving her. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at.
She decides to go home to Dublin. And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he's in for a bit of a surprise.
