    I just discovered this guy two days ago. He's so weird and I love it! "Whisk whisk whisk. Aaaaahhhh-mazing!" Adorbs! He has me actually going to attempt to make a complicated cake. His lemon recipe with lemon cream cheese frosting custard (or is it pastry cream?) and lemon curd in the middle! I have never made any of those things because I was always too scared, but he has given me the courage!

    Feta cheese and water melon brought up generations of Greeks. When you come to Greece you have to try a barrel matured feta with water melon!

    I lived in Greece for a couple months and there was this truck that'd roll down the street slowly with a man shouting over a megaphone "karpouzi, karpouzi, karpouzi." First time it happened it freaked me out cuz it was a large truck and the guy sounded quite angry, I thought it was some sorta political thing. Turns out it was just a guy selling watermelon, and wow they were the best watermelons I'd ever had. So in my mind at least, Greece is definitely a watermelon country

    Its funny how I literally just was thinking about a big mistake i made when i used an American recipe for the first time.
    When we talk about a teaspoon over here we talk about a spoon you use in a tea cup. A table spoon is a spoon you eat soup with, a cup is a drinking cup etc, so i followed the recipe using the wrong way to measure stuff making the cake i made really weird.
    It did cause me to discover a “new” kind of frosting that I perfected over the years and its now my secret frosting everyone loves😂 sweet, slightly sour, creamy and buttery, it got it all

    A helpful tip
    Soak the chopped red onions in the lime juice first for a few minutes before adding it to the salad then drizzle the olive oil at the end.. the lime juice will cut out the spiciness of the onions that most people dislike.. I also luv adding black olives and parsley to this salad

    @philippoon8879 3 года назад +2

    This salad is very common among the Mediterranean nations along with the Middle East and the Caucus region, very refreshing and of course you can zest the lime for more free flavor, aromatize the dressing further. Yes it's also great with many flatbreads such as the lavash or the many that are made in a tandoor oven.
    I get that California and the West are going through heatwaves, drought and forest fires and the East is as cool as post Labour Day. That's man induced climate change and global warming.

    Tip to cut your watermelon:
    1- quarter your melon,
    2- slice lengthwise and crosswise until you hit the rind (not through the rind)
    3- Then you a spoon or knife and just go along the rind.
    4- Your cubes of melon will fall right into your bowl! This works great for cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon etc.
