I'm eating a grapefruit, and I think I'm going to buy more. At least its only from Texas. Its so delicious.
Re: Confession
You are brave! I wouldn't post my GL confessions here. Notice the plural...
Enjoy your US grown grapefruit : )
LOL. Even the most GL foodies have weaknesses for non-local foods. Mine is pineapple. Especially from the buffet at Whole Foods, they have these huge juicy rings that are just delicious!
My confession: I judge people that eat crappy food. My office mate had a Lean Cuisine elbow macaroni & pasta sauce thingee for lunch yesterday, while I had homemade Portabello Mushroom Parmigiana using Organic Valley cheese, organic pasta sauce, and local fresh spaghetti from the Farmer's Market. Yes, I looked down my nose at her lunch
I've just been so good about maintaining a strictly local diet, but UGH I feel so sluggish eating so much starch and soup. I am taking the remains home to compost though!
Ugh, Lean Cuisines are so yucky I can't understand how anyone eats them. And they are so dinky! I'd starve!! Your lunch sounds much better! In addition to my grapefruit, I have curried chicken salad with dried cranberries on yummy bread with spinach.
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
Mmm! I have a grapefruit tree in my backyard, and I think the fruit will be ripe in another month or so. Now we just have to figure out 1) where you can buy one of those citrus-picking poles (and how to get it home in our sedan!) and 2) what to do with all of the grapefruit! I'll probably have DH take some to work...it might be a good idea to start building up some good produce karma in case any of his co-workers garden!
If you could e-mail grapefruit, the GL Nesties would be first on my list!
Ooooh, I'm so jealous of you! Can you can grapefruit? I know you can buy jars of it mixed with oranges in some grocery stores.
Sure! You can can (lol) anything!
I miss growing citrus. I think you can get the picker with the basket on the stick at any hardware store really.
I had a Christmas orange and mimosas on Christmas, but otherwise haven't had citrus in almost a year!!
Me too!

Supergreen....I teach nutrition and I totally judge ppl based on the foods they eat. I was becoming "that girl" at the lunch room in my school with the faculty so I had to stop! (no one said anything..I just could feel myself getting very judgemental and saying so!)
Glad I am not alone!
Oh, I couldn't handle that! We're right next to California, so it's easier for me to justify OJ.
lol, hitting the hard stuff next
