Helpful Hints for my Next LifeWelcome back to earth; I presume we are still in the 21st century.
These are some things you learned in your previous life when your name
was Gene Keyes. I am giving you a headstart on them so that you don't have
to spend years and years of re-learning.
How to Eat a Watermelon
Here is the way you liked to do it; you called it "Filet Melón" or "Best
Bite first and last".
-
Make a round slice. (This relates to all the inner slices; you can figure
out the end pieces for yourself.)
-
Put the round slice on a dinner plate, and have a paring knife and fork
at hand. Cut the slice in half.
-
Cut off the rind.
-
At the center of each half-slice, cut out a semi-circle (about half the
size of your palm: the outer border is just before the seeds begin.
-
This is the "Best Bite", or the "Filet" piece. Cut it in half.
-
If you are sharing a half with someone, each will have two "Best Bites".
Otherwise, you have four.
-
Eat one (or two) of your "Best Bites", saving one or two for last.
-
Eat the rest of the watermelon, slicing it into bite-size pieces with the
knife and fork, working from the outer edge inward.
-
The melon is least tasty at the periphery,and improves as you approach
the middle, till you reach the small pre-cut "Best Bite" at the very center.
-
You have now gotten the "Best Bite" at the very outset of the melon experience,
and a final "Best Bite" to chase any mediocre-tasting middle-range portions.
