Taste of Summer: Watermelon

Nothing says summer like watermelon. 

Such a delicious fruit. Such a pain to slice. 

I decided to seek out an alternative way to cut up a watermelon when I want chunks and not big slices. 

I found a method that involved slicing the sides of the watermelon. Two different series of cuts so there is an inch between on either side. Otherwise, you'll end up with the melon being fully sliced into large rounds.

With a big butcher's knife, I tried it and ended up with good cuts albeit diagonal. 

The next step is to make deep cuts from the top down into the melon. Slices from left to right and from top to bottom. 

Finally, scoop it out with a spoon. There were a a few spots not sliced horizontally because of the slice series having gaps. 

I found this method to be pretty effective overall. I think I found my new way of slicing this watery goodness!
