This is a cute, fun, unique way to serve fresh watermelon. And I’m not the only one who excitedly tried this; checkout ‘messy thrilling life’ blog who also tried Martha Stewart Living Magazine watermelon cake. Thankyou Martha!

Lay it down horizontally. Cut about one thirds from the other end. Lay the middle third (the watermelon ”cake”) on a serving platter. Now take the two ends of the water melon.

Recipe for Mujadarra (Middle Eastern Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions) Mujadarra (pronounced moo-jha-druh and also spelled Mujadara, Mujaddara, Mujadarah, and Mujadarrah) is a humble middle eastern dish of lentils, rice, and caramelized onions. This is a recipe where the flavor becomes much more than you'd expect from the simple ingredients used. Years ago I started ordering Mujadarra at a now-closed Salt Lake restaurant which served it with Middle Eastern Tomato Salad around the the plate, the perfect way to eat it if you have tomatoes and fresh herbs on hand. Rinse lentils, then add water and cook at a low simmer 20-30 minutes, until lentils are soft. Start cooking 3/4 cup long grain rice, either following the directions on the package or using a rice cooker like I did. Peel onions, then cut into quarter-slices to make 3 cups sliced onions. Heat olive oil in large heavy pan, then add onions and start to brown over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes. Here are my onions after ten minutes, just starting to get brown.
