The Sprite Melon

We like to try new foods -- especially in the produce section. Sometimes we like them, and some don't become our favorite foods. I like to encourage the girls to try new foods. Last week they asked to try a sprite melon, which I had never tried before, that they saw at HyVee. We bought that produce beauty, and brought it home to try. 


After cutting it open, the girls each took a half to clean out. I could tell right away that this would not become one of their favorite foods because they kept commenting on how it smelled, and not in a good way! We all tried it, and only Matthew thought it tasted good enough to eat a half of it. Kudos to the girls for trying something new. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it finds its way to the compost pile!!
