Have you noticed the new trend in flour? They make it out of everything now. Back in my day you had Gold Medal and the only choices were 1 pound or 5. Now? There’s rice flour, almond flour, spelt flour and….

Good grief, don’t people know the only acceptable alternative use of watermelon is margaritas?

I saw this coffee table in Home Goods the other day and it made me wonder….
.
.
Has caging misbehaving children and dinner guests now become acceptable?Because I’m fine with that.
.
Crocs…the hideous abominations are everywhere.
.
.
They’re basically the Honey Boo Boo of footwear and people need to stop wearing them.
.
.
And fruit themed Crocs?

Do nothing to alter my opinion of these pathetic plastic horrors. Please… for the love of all that’s holy, let these things die the natural death of outdated ugly footwear.
Like Jellies.

They were hideous, but at least they had the decency to die.

Watermelon seed flour!? Wtf? And I completely agree with you, those monstrosities of the footwear world need to be completely obliviated from this earth. They are nasty, ugly and anyone who wears the. Should be tazered until they come to their senses!

Who on earth thought to make “flour” from watermelon seeds??
I have a of knockoff crocs but onky because I wanted something for watering in winter and they were $6. And they’re lined with fake fur. Even I, taking great pride in tackiness, won’t wear them in public!!

I suppose they would make a good backyard gardening shoe. But covered in mud in the backyard only.

I wore Moccasins to work for a few months when I was pregnant because they were the only footwear that we’re comfortable. People did not like that. But at least I didn’t resort to Crocs.

River,
Aren’t those pre-croc plastic things called Jellies? I like shoes and all, but I’ve never worn crocs or those other things. If I spend money on it, I have to actually like it. Also, I love the theme of this post — footwear to food to dining (even if it’s over some poor trapped creature) to fruit footwear; none which have any dignity. It has a nice full circle feel to it. Well done, my friend! LOL. 🙂

Yes, those were jellies. An equally hideous style of footwear I will never wear.

Haha – you see a problem with watermelon flour? You haven’t been to your local HFS lately, have you?
There you will find Cricket Flour (or cricket powder, if you prefer)

If it’s alternative OR healthy, people will buy it.
It is, afterall, food of the future – unless we go with Soylent colors

When my cousin was in elementary school, she would only style her hair in a side pony and she would only wear Jellies – 2 sizes too big.
Coincidentally, the girls in her third grade class formed an “I Hate Susan Club.” In retrospect, it makes sense.

I’m not a caging fan for pets. I’d like to lock up the people who crate their dogs when they go to work and see how they like it.

I remember lots of girls wearing jellies when I was in school. Makes me glad I wasn’t popular if wearing those was a requirement.

Have you ever compared the taste of seedless watermelons to seeded watermelons? To me the seeded watermelons are 1000% better. Yet all they sell in the stores here are seedless watermelons, and farmer’s markets are not selling watermelons anymore. So if they are not selling seeded watermelons, but they are using watermelon seeds for flour, what are they doing with the pulp? I want the pulp!
The coffee table is for doggie timeouts, I guess, but I can see frustrated parents shoving kids in there, and that is not cool.

We still have plenty seeded watermelons here, and you’re right… there’s no comparison to that tasteless genetically modified seedless mess.

When I was still working, I would have loved a larger version of that table. I would have put it in our conference room.

It does seem multi purpose as far as caging possibilities.

Use a baby crib to make a kennel like that coffee table too. Since most people kennel their dogs inside, make it functional. There are some GORGEOUS kennels that double as end tables too. Instead of two pieces of furniture in your small living room, you only need one. I would like one but they can be pretty expensive….

LOL…I have to crate my two bugs. Momma with her babies and Louie to protect him from Momma. But only during the day. When babies all go to their furever homes, Momma won’t be crated either. Only when I’m at work. I paid too much for my carpet to have it ruined….

The ONLY acceptable use of watermelon is crushing it and using it as mulch to grow a decent-tasting fruit like a peach or pear.
