Pretty easy and good way of incorporating atypical organic ingredients.
We have a subscription for a weekly box of organic produce (mostly vegetables) from an organic farm about 2 hours away from our city. This week we received a small yellow fleshed watermelon. I sliced it up, but the flesh was a little bland and Clement put off by the yellow and the many seeds.
So I put the
seedy watermelon flesh,
green rind,
golden silk tassels from corn (also from the farm),
2 heaping tablespoons of honey,
covered with water
in the Vitamix blender and whirred away until everything was pulverized,
I stopped once to push the tassels lower.
The result was a light green frothy, foamy, pleasantly sweet concoction.
The ground seeds settled at the bottom and in the end I just decided to toss them, I suppose I could have saved to use in cookies instead of nuts.

Yay! I have finally been able to post on Blogger. So, this is what I wanted to say the other day.
I would never have though of putting rinds and silk hair in a beverage. Now you have me thinking of what else I am missing out on.
Profound, right? Aren't you glad i commented now?
Yay! Thank you, I appreciate it.
I try to get as much use out of organic produce as I can. I was shocked and appalled when a dear cousin, a foodie even, was discarding beet tops/greens!
