Posted By on Jan 12, 2012 in Cooking Tips & Tricks | 0 comments

It is likely, when you eat watermelon, you don’t eat all the way down to the white rind. It’s not as sweet, and doesn’t taste as good as the pink, juicy flesh you just otherwise consumed.

During my further 3 hours of delay at the Washington Dulles Airport, I succumbed to eating a hamburger from the “famous” Five Guys Burgers & Fries. Apparently, these are said to be some of the best burgers around, to the point that the girl sitting next to me tells me her boss flies in from New York on his private jet just to get them. So, I did it…I had a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard and...
