Never Slice a Watermelon the 'Normal' Way Again

Rachel Tepper
You've been slicing watermelon all wrong.

You know the trick to evenly chopping an onion, which calls for carefully slicing it in different directions? Slightly tweaked, the technique works wonderfully with watermelon, too.

It results in long watermelon “pops” rather than the thick, nostalgia-inducing wedges to which we’re accustomed. (Those are satisfying to chomp into, sure, but they can be messy affairs.) The video above schools you about how it’s done. Eat ‘em as they are, or dress the pops in honey, lime juice, salt, pepper, and (if you’re feeling saucy) a dash of schnapps.

This nifty trick makes watermelon—which is chock-full of vitamins A, C, and potassium—even easier to scarf down, and that’s huge: The value getting your five servings of fruits and veggies a day has never been more certain.

So go forth and slice! Watermelon pops for all!

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works). Mr Joshua Zirigbe (9β) is a Nigerian from Delta State and he has given us the opportunit

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl
