Anyway, every summer, watermelon recipe contest by the farmer in Tottori prefecture (Kurayoshi city) is organized at Cookpad. The grand prize is 100,000yen, so it is pretty competitive. I never won the highest, but luckily I'm receiving a prize every year. Flying by the seat of my pants, I was not thinking of submitting my recipe this year because I don't think I'm having a chance to receive a prize again. However, last Friday, I won free samples of watermelons. Sounds like I have to create something! And I did! On Sunday, I made 4 new watermelon recipes. Talking about watermelon, it is very good for your health!
It helps to beat the summer heat! Sugar (fructose and glucose) of watermelon gives you a power to your tired body. Also, it purifies your body. It eliminates toxins from your body and has antioxidant properties!
I will link to some of my fun watermelon recipes!

Hi Ochi,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are creative in your recipes. I never knew watermelon was so good for you. We just finished one, we eat just cut up! Have a nice trip, too bad you weren't coming to PA. Lucky you did book plane for June! Enjoy the sites in New York, and take a lot of pics, look forward to seeing them! :)
Hi jo!
ReplyDeleteDo you stay up late? or is it already morning?
You know what! I ate a whole watermelon by myself in 4 days. My boyfriend doesn't like such a watery fruit, so I had to. But I could! I mean, I think I can eat half of it at once! Ha-ha!!!
Okay! I think I'm gonna take a lot of pictures, so I will post them on my diary! I shouldn't forget to bring my camera with me!
Hi Ochi,
ReplyDeleteI had commented in the afternoon. I do stay up sometimes, the only time I have to myself! Yes don't forget your camera. Maybe you can see ground zero! Have a nice trip!
Hi jo!
ReplyDeleteI am going to leave in a few hours! I have my camera with me!
It is raining today in Japan :( And it seems like to rain in NY, too. We had mostly sunny days last few years during our trip, so bad luck!
Anyway, I will enjoy ;)
I hope to see you someday! If I can take more days off, that's possible!!!
Thank you for your comments! I was clicking back over and I had to smile when I saw the watermelon "sushi". Now, that, maybe I could handle... it doesn't have anything really raw in it.
ReplyDeleteI am trying... Kayce
Hello K.C.,
