Look at that melon

Nothing better to come home to a huge watermelon on your door step. We belong to a CSA, community supported agriculture, and a couple of us trade off going to pick up the produce. Yesterday was Margie's day. I wasn't home so she left it on the porch.
We found Monroe Organic Farms from a friend of a friend. We buy a share of their farm and weekly throughout June, July, August, September and a week or two into October we receive the harvest. Yesterday's bounty was 6 anaheim peppers, 40pieces of corn, 8 different types of squash, 2 watermelon, 2 muskmelon, 12 tomatillos, 5 vine ripened tomatoes, 6 onions, 4 garlic, tons of beets (yuck) and some eggplant. I made a tomatillo chicken dish for lunch for tomorrow, so the flavors can meld before I serve it on rice.
