National Watermelon Day!

By Nita Gill on August 3, 2010 in National Watermelon Day, Recipes, Summer 11

Here are some great ideas to celebrate National Watermelon Day. Try making a watermelon lantern, watermelon hat. Or try cool treats like watermelon cocktails or frozen watermelon pops. You could even have a watermelon themed party complete with unusual watermelon curry and other unusual watermelon recipes.

What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

“Kudos to you Nita! Thank you so much for the convenience you are offering through your videos and online lessons for us carving fans. I have been collecting tools and books on fruit and vegetable carving for several years now and you are right about some things. Some books are in another language although they have a sequence of photos but even still it’s hard to grasp the flow from beginning to end. It doesn’t compare to watching someone do it. I even traveled with my daughter to take a class out of state but, it was expensive and it was just one class. Your site makes it so convenient because, as you stated, I can view the lessons any time from the comfort of my home which eliminates all the issues involved with traveling and accomodations. Your lessons are just as good as having you here with me in person. You teach clearly, thoroughly and at an easy to follow pace. I love what you have done! This was my birthday gift from my husband by the way. Oh, and I made the watermelon cake from the free lesson for my son’s 25th birthday (because he doesn’t like cake)and it was a hit with him and everyone who saw it. Thank you, thank you! I can’t thank you enough! Keep up the great work! Happy Carving!”

“I want to thank you for your videos and lessons, I have learned a lot. I have been carving for some time now, and I found that your lessons are very informative, I found specially helpful when you include some “mistakes” that can happen and how to fix them.” Yolanda

I am thrilled to say that thanks to your videos & lessons, our 13 yr. old daughter was able to carve a beautiful watermelon rose with leaves. We featured it as the centerpiece in a large fruit buffet that we set up in her school’s Teacher Lounge – as a gesture for one teacher’s upcoming wedding.

We were immediately barraged with compliments and kind words about how stunning the carving was.

One of her teachers actually brought the melon into her classroom to show Sarah’s classmates what she had done! Even at the wedding, we were greeted with continued and repeated “oohs & ahhhs” of that watermelon, and how amazed everyone was that an 8th grader could be so talented!

You helped create a wonderful memory for both our daughter and us, that we will always have – and a skill for her & I that we are excited to continue developing!”
