Melon Season

I am not the best supporter of the "Local Foods Movement" in DC. I tend to go with whatever is most convenient or is the best cost. I am, however, livid that I am living in the land of the most exquisite melons you have ever seen but am eating bland, mushy nasty excuses for melon at the DFAC that taste like they took the slowest boat possible from California. When I was in Kabul they had fresh melon at every meal. And mangos from Pakistan? and pomegranates (which will be fully in season down here shortly)? I can't even describe them. They were perfect.

Come on military! Just let a few trucks of produce through the gates. I am sure you have a way of differentiating between cantaloupes and bombs...
