Slick Banana Slicing Trick

You know, sometimes making the quantum leap is difficult.  I’ve had this slicer for several years, but only used it on mushrooms. 

One day, when I was thinking ‘banana’ I was considering the problem people have with getting even slices. The wires are ¼ inch apart, perfect for slicing bananas and other fruits. Consider using your cheese/mushroom slicer on bananas the next time!

Linda's Note: 
Last night I tried this on peeled cantaloupe. I quartered the fruit and seeded it. Then tried this gadget on it. Worked just fine.  Perfect and consistent slices, all 1/4 inch thick.  Should work on any kind of melon.

Dehydrating Melon Seeds

Did you know you can dehydrate any type of melon or squash seeds? These seeds are power packed with nutrients.  It seems a shame to toss them out!

The first time I dehydrated a melon, I was not impressed.  

It was crumbly and sticky and just about wouldn’t scrape off the rack!  What I tasted was cloyingly sweet and not really palatable.  But I kept reading so much about dehydrated melon, I decided to try it again.
