I didn’t used to wash the rind either but in past few years I have....and then, after cutting thru washed rind, I rinse the knife....before cutting up cantaloupe....paranoid, I guess.
ut oh ping
I bought a whole Rocky Ford cantaloupe last Thur. at the farmer’s market. I ate some three days ago. W/vanilla ice cream. I was deeeeelicious! ;-)
I will now! I am scrupulous with things like raw meat, cooked foods (leaving it out of the fridge for instance). I always wash vegetables and fruits in which you eat the skin but really never thought about washing things like melons. Now that seems a little dumb. Heck, I won’t drink out of a bottled water if it sits out of the fridge overnight.
And I do consider myself just a little germophobic.
Well, one more thing to add to my list. :)
