Daily Delish – Orange ya glad….(not sure where I’m going with this)

Daily Delish

Oranges. Much like apples, they can go two ways. Utterly revolting or juicy bites of bliss.

Anyone who has had a bad orange knows what I’m talking about. Dry, crumbly and taking much too long to chew (at least before I spit it out), they can ruin anyone’s day 5 minutes. Especially since they take so much work to peel correctly! I mean, who wants to work to unwrap something only to find out it’s another one of Aunt Laurie’s Christmas Sweaters? Or in this case, an icky orange.

Luckily, the orange gods smiled upon me at lunch today and granted me roughly 12 slices of bliss.

While the aroma is currently sweet and fragrant, those who have thrown oranges away at their desk before know that it’s a slippery slope and I’ll soon be swimming in rotting orange peel fumes.

Thus, I’m off to deposit the remnants in my employee lounge — conspicuously, of course — no one wants to be pegged “rotting orange peel girl.”

    I also enjoyed a delicious orange today! I certainly know what it’s like to have a bad one. Not good at all. I was very happy to have a sweet and juicy orange as my snack today.

    I love sweet oranges in the summertime. I normally put them in the fridge for a bit and then eat them. So good! :)

    I have to agree… I can’t stand it when an orange is not as good as I expected to be. I love the smell of it in my cubicle though.. :)

    My favorite thing ever to do with orange peels is put them down the garbage disposal in a sink. It makes the whole kitchen smell fresh and citrusy. Try it!

    Totally agree! The worst is when you get a seed in your clemintine… I always hold my segments up to the light to make sure there’s no seeds! =D

    Hola! Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday! I loved your comment about my video and appreciate you taking the time to watch. I took a quick tour around your blog and love it! Your writing is great. I enjoyed reading your ups and downs with boys, oh how I can relate on some levels, depending on what stage of my life we are talking about, pre-obesity or after!

    Anyway, coming from a Florida girl where the state’s fruit is an orange; I’m right there with you regarding your article! I look forward to reading more from you on your blog and Twitter (heading there now)! Again, gracias!

    I love oranges more than apples, I just don’t know why, I guess this fruit has a lot of vitamin C which keeps me away from such diseases like flu and cough.

    I laughed at your description because when they are dry, it’s pretty bad.
