1986 Recipe - Jean Hansen

"My Grandma would occasionally baby sit my brother, Tom, and I when we were little.  Spaghetti is generally thought of as kid friendly, but one day she served this gourmet style recipe.  Well, it was a bit too spicy for a kindergartener, and I was too scared to tell her.  She served watermelon with it, but that quickly ran out.  I had a glass of water, but I didn't care much for water.  So being the genius child I was I started dipping the watermelon rind in the water and then sucking on it.  Well, Grandma was a stickler for table manners and what I was doing was a no-no.  So I got in a little trouble.  But now, looking at this recipe, it looks darn good!  Maybe I'll have to give it another chance." - April Ferre
