NOTE..kind of important


REMEMBER: Gilly (the author here: an occasional and passionate cook) does not recommend cutting off fingers unless the recipe calls for that sort of thing.

NOTE: this computer is not equipped with chell speck so I am NOT legally liable if there's a pissmrint: if I accidentally list "festering pigs' feet" instead of "warm chocolate" in the ingredients, I am sincerely sorry and good luck with that.

What Watermelon??

Sweet Jeezus, there's watermelon on the menu! We're talking a TOWER OF POWER watermelon - my kids and I were in Glawstah for a bit this summah and we were overwhelmed with luscious happiness and joy by a fabulous watermelon appetizer (that I'll try and recreate here)  It looks pretty simple and tastes amazing. My daughter who "doesn't do cheese" opted for the sans cheese version - either/or is amazing.
At the restaurant 2 and possibly 3 watermelons were used for one appetizer and we never actually ate our main course - we had to walk around for hours with all the other stuffed quahogs (that's cohawgs) stumbling around outside, belching in a very aggressive manner....

WATERMELON SALAD 
this is the sans cheese version/not layered

Ingredients: 
o  a couple of big juicy hunks of manly looking watermelon - this is a stand at attention; salute-to-the-chef kind of dish, folks - take it seriously. No seeds unless you're looking for disappointment
o  some feta cheese crumbles or slices
o  balsamic vinegar
o  some sort of salty nut - we like cashews - you could also toast some salted nuts - chopped up

Cut the watermelon so it resembles either this above, or cut into big, uniform slabs, stacked in a pretty way
You can either layer some feta (about 75% watermelon...) or crumble it around the bottom of your stack
drizzle some balsamic on top and around the mounds - not too much; it's complimenting the melon not gushing around in puddles
sprinkle the nuts all over and by golly you have a massive amount of watermelon on your plate-eat up
