No Scurvy Pirates Here

Madarin Oranges

If there is something we are not deficient in around here - it is Vitamin C. We Lu-HUV mandarin orange season. Bring it.

When I see those boxes of little orange orbs my toes go “on point”, my arms form an “O” above my head and lightly I flitter to grab me one of them boxes. I love them most because anyone can peel them (read: I don’t have to unwrap, slice, peel, mold or stir), and the kids are WILD about them. W to the I to the L to the D.

Oh, and you know the question that comes with any snack, “Can I have 2???!!!” I cooly answer, “Hmmmm… Ok, I guess. Go ahead.” It’s a psychological game I play, like it’s the equivalent to a brownie or monster cookie. Yeah, let’s splurge kids - have TWO oranges!
