What to do with the end of watermelon?

    My boys love fruit.  Recently I was persuaded to buy a watermelon, against my better judgement.  Watermelon have an extra long life in my house.  For the first few days, we eat watermelon with practically every meal.  Then, when about one quarter of the watermelon is left, it gets pushed to the back of the fridge, and forgotten about.  Until one day I get tired of looking at it, and toss it in the trash, whether or not it is still good.   I am just too lazy to cut anymore watermelon.

   Not this time.  It was all eaten!  For the first time in 8 years, we've eaten all the watermelon.  Along my travels on the internet I read someone say they used an ice cream scoop to scoop out the remaining watermelon when they don't want to cut it anymore.  I thought this was a brilliant idea.  Why hadn't I thought of this before?  

    Turns out that watermelon is very easy to scoop and my kids didn't mind round watermelon shapes.  I think it even tasted better.  I didn't have to waste my time cutting perfect little rectangles, I didn't have to get out my cutting board or any knives.  Easy clean up too!  I will be using this momma hack for a long time to come.  Next time you by watermelon, try it!
