I am in love with citrus fruit.  Last week when I was shopping without a list and on an empty stomach, I picked up a organic blood orange. (I never eat citrus fruit to speak of, because when I was little I hated the pith.) I ate it that night. It was spectacular! Not only was it juicy and delicious, it was pretty. The rind was soft and easy to peel, and it was such a sunny, orangey orange. The fruit inside was almost purple. It was a feast.
Since then, I have tried honey tangerines (eh), plain old tangerines (organic, and yummy), satsumas (tangy and wonderful), and minneolas (bordering on sour, but pretty good).
I’ve also been eating a lot of kiwi. What sweet little fuzzy fruit they are. And such convenient packaging–slice ’em in half, and eat em with a spoon.
High-fructose corn syrup and red dye number 7 have got nothing on fruit. Yay God!

Trying to inch in on my corner of citrus addiction, eh? I see how it is… 😉

oranges are packets of edible sunshine.

I’ve been craving clementines for about the past month or so.
