For years my family has loved Clementines. We still love them, but they are getting a bit pricey. I was introduced to a new orange last week: the Minneola Tangelo. First of all, what a cool name. You could name your child or a dog Minneola Tangelo and people would think you're cool. Maybe it's that both names end in a vowel. I like that.
Well, Wikipedia says, and I quote: "The Minneola tangelo is a citrus fruit hybrid of 'Duncan' grapefruit and 'Dancy' tangerine. It was released in 1931 by the United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. The fruit is extremely juicy and sweet with a slight tartness. Its rind and flesh are both a bright orange in color, a deeper shade than that of an orange."
So it's pretty and tasty! Pick up one at your grocery store. You won't regret it!
P.S. Did I already mention that my DH is on a diet? It's not going well. I have no idea how well it's going for him, it's just not going well for me. Yesterday I consumed a large portion of homemade carmel corn without any conscious thought. Why? Why do I eat uncontrollably when he's exercising restraint and control!? If he had any feelings or love for me he would stop this ridiculous diet so I can go back to being normal and not gain 10 pounds!
Kay, I'm going to go eat my bowl of ice cream before it melts ...

I love your blog! It's always so funny and interesting!
I have to eat. No matter who is dieting or eating.
Especially if there's chocolate around. I'll find it and I'll eat it.
So don't feel too bad, it could be worse.
Amen to the husbands who diet and cause uncontrollable weight gain in their wives. I do the same thing when Lane decides to cut back. Maybe it's because we're related?
P.S. Not Lane and I ... how weird and illegal would that be ... I mean you and me.
From DH
Okay already, I'll stop!!!
