Went to a Watermelon Festival this past weekend in Oklahoma in a small town call Rushmoore. It's great, a real true blue, small country fare. I think my lil' gourment watermelon expert (Ethan) has the bestest time! He LOVES watermelon. He can live on watermelon alone(if I let him, YAH! in his dreams!). It was muggy coz of all the rain, but you know what, sunshine came back for a while and we had a really good time! (yah, if you don't have hair like mine, it WOULD have been great...San, you would know what I mean!). They actually have some watermelon competition and the winner went to a 141 pounder!! I wonder who gets to eat those prize winning suckers.....hehehe... Would be a waste not to get your hands on those beauties!! And of course, Ethan was slapping those PRIZE WINNING MELONS like drums. Somehow I didn't think those farmers appreciate that! *GULP*
Watermelon Festival in Rushmoore, Oklahoma
You get to eat those succulent watermelons right there if you want to for a meagre price of 50cents a slice!! YES 50 CENTS!!!! You heard me.....HALF A DOLLAR/TWO QUARTERS/FIVE DIMES!!! Mannn....they were good, it was one of those elongated varieties and they cut it into quarters, lengthwise!! Some people ate their pieces with sprinkling of salt on it. I know, sounds weird, but when I tried it, it was actually quite refreshing! Not strange at all! I guess they knew what they were doing afterall.
Great watermelon!
And that's the pic of my greedy lil boy dripping with watermelon juice. The sun was in his eyes and it didn't even bother him, well, it's watermelon, what can I say! He was sitting on the table while his daddy fed him. :D
Some Food Pic
There's Nasi Lemak that I'd made for last Sunday brunch. Was not too bad, and quick. Make some tumeric chicken wings (stuck it in the oven...:D)and had some sambal in the freezer so fried some anchovies to go with that. The rest is self-explanatory....

This is Alaskan King Crab Fried Rice. Can't see the rice coz it's at the bottom of this wonderful, simply marvelous tasting Stir-fried Crab!! It's really really goooddd.... you've got to be there to really enjoy this. Ethan LOVES this!! No kidding! Errmmm...I didn't make this! Hehehehe... My friend did! Hehehe... We were at his place over the weekend (for the Watermelon Festival in Oklahoma) and he made us dinner. There were other dishes but this is DA BOMB!! Hehehhe... If there were Smell-A-Vision!!
Alaskan King Crab Fried Rice! YUMMY
This is a test of my new Indoor Grill!! DANG! How did I manage to live WITHOUT it before?!?!?!? Heheheh... Yah, made this up (from fridge leftovers)for a Saturday lunch. Didn't know what to make so took some stuff and slap it on the grill! And it really look great! Thanks to the grill marks on the panini!! It really looked pro! hehehehe... Oh yah, I even grilled the chicken I used in the panini, hey, no many cleanups! The Indoor Grill(got the cheapo one coz I wanted to check it out!)works great with Korean Bulgolgi (had done that 3 times already! it's that great especially when you are too lazy to cook a "real" sit-down dishes kinda dinner). Just marinate everything you wanna slapped it on the grill for 15-30mins and it's done. All the meat already come pre-sliced (so that saved me tons of work!!!Heheheh...ok...I'm lazy too....hehehe)! Everyone loves the end result! So this grill is definitely a KEEPER!! For those who are interested in this grill, I got it from Sam's Club for $35+ and it's worth every penny. Not only it grills, you can flipped it to the other side and use it as a griddle too. Haven't got a chance to use that yet but soooooonnnnn..... hehehehe...Oh yah, it's from Wolfgang Puck series in Sam's Club.
Chicken, Basil and Tomato Panini
And finally Ethan...Just some random pics of him. He's such a goofboy! Right now he's sssooooooooo active.....
Is it basball time?
I've fallen and I kinda can't get up??!!!

Ethan does love his watermelon. I'm surprised his eyes didn't pop out of his head when he caught sight of them all.
Hey how do you to the collage of pics? or is that a feature from your digicam?
I use Picassa2(from Blogspot) to make the collage. I have that feature on my camera but it was way easier to do it via Picassa2.
And yah, Ethan's eyes DID pop out, we put them back into the sockets again...:D
Hey, have a great trip to HK!! I LOVE your company.....soooo niceeee.......
