here's a C&O inspired inspiration:

i got a good-tasting cantaloupe, but the texture was awful.
i wanted to eat it, but it made me retch.

earlier today, making baby food, i'd looked longingly at some carrot mush and remembered
the C&O's curried carrot soup.  but that batch of carrot mush was for willie, not for me.

but, hey! didn't dave also do a chilled melon soup?  he did!  and it was easy!
maybe i could have an orange soup that combines the best of both cold melon
and curried carrot! 

here's what happened:

  one good-tasting cantaloupe
  half a cup of grapefruit juice
  one lime, juiced
  pinch o' salt or three
  a little yellow curry powder
  a little tiny bit of garam masala

blend to death

(at this point it was so good that i had to write it down for you)

chill

i'll garnish with blackberries and mint from the backyard.
it will be served after that crazy mojo/chipotle steak-and-potato dish
i once transcribed in this forum.
