Cantaloupes can be used at any
of the three meals. Sliced canta-
loupe is delicious at breakfast. For
these hot, summer days cantaloupe
and fresh peaches make a nice
lunch-time salad. Chilled melon
balls garnished with mint leaves
are a refreshing appetizer at din
ner-time both to the eye and the
taste. The man of the house wiz
go for the perennial favorite-
cantaloupe filed with ice cream for
dessert.
How can you tell if the canta-
loupe is ripe? That's easy! Smell
it. The stronger the melon odor,
the ripper the melon. The lacy net
work on the rind will stand out
sharply and the yellower the color
the better the melon.
If cantaloupe is left uncovered
in the refrigerator, it quickly
taints other foods. The plastic re-
frigerator bags can quickly solve
that problem for you. Just put
them in the bag, close it and the
odor will not escape.
Enjoy cantaloupe while it is in
season! Take some home with you
