You all laughed when I got excited about the 4 melon seeds, but now me and my 9+ stacks of melon slices are laughing at you. :D
As long as it doesn't get nerfed in tomorrow's update, I think I have the hunger problem solved. :)
Tip #1: Walking on farmland will crush the crops and revert the land to dirt, unless you hold shift while walking on it.
Tip #2: After harvesting a melon, the land underneath is no longer farmland, so it must be tilled again with the http://www.obliquegeek.com/images/thisthing.jpg so another melon can grow.
:D
A new entrance to the cavern/abandoned mine is now available near the spawn point. I kept running into enderman. And I sort of looked at them, but not really? I'm not sure about the rules, so I just burrowed a new escape hatch. Linoleum, I think I have the area you kept dying in torched up enough that there shouldn't be anymore monster spawns. Took a few lives, and a stack of your melon to do it though. ;)

Thinking of setting up another portal. We have Portal Alpha in the West so which direction should we do next?
I was thinking of going south. The idea would be to treat our base as the East portal and then create a north and south portal in the nether that are mid way between the east and west portals but in the respective directions. Thoughts?
If someone could loan me a diamond pickaxe that would be awesome. I also heard talk of an obsidian generator if any one wants too make one or point me to the how to video.
I actually did have a thought about this last night.
I know it sounds weird at first but...why don't we just go in the same direction? Right now we have pretty much nothing in any direction (aside from the one portal). The only "goals" of exploring out farther are to find new stuff and open space to build, and for those it doesn't matter which direction you go. In the nether, we can just build a tunnel/hallway that has portal exits every however-far-we-decide-to-space-them. Then when 1.9+ versions come out (pre-release today, supposedly), we will still have plenty of new ungenerated map in the other directions.
p.s. We need to get the original portal moved/protected ASAP. First of all, it was disabled when I went to go there last night, and also minecraft has an issue where it seems to reload the map very slowly when you come back through. This makes you a prime target for creepers hanging around the portal.
p.p.s. I put 6 stacks (apparently 5 or less now) of melon slices in the food chest this morning.
Also, the bottom floor has (once I get milk) free cake.
1.9 pre-release is out. No "new bugs" list yet. :p
I have some plans for the mountainous valley by the village (between the spawn and the desert). Can't remember which direction that is.
Probably going to buy a bunch of 1cm blocks to model something before I try to build it in-game, though. Hoping to do that in the next day or two.
