Why the new template? Well, A. I was bored with the old one, and B. I really miss Moroccan watermelon.
Watermelon, “d’leh” in darija, is what I eat almost exclusively when I spend the summer in Morocco. It’s probably the best I’ve ever eaten – sweet and firm red flesh with lots of flavor, like it’s supposed to be. The watermelons here taste watery and mushy by comparison.
I should mention that my habit of sprinkling salt on the watermelon before munching was met with incredulity and horror on the part of my Moroccan compatriot. I think it brings out the flavor even more, but they didn’t agree.
