blood oranges

Blood oranges for $1.49/lb, which is unheard of, along with cheap bananas, cheap orange tomatoes, cheap grapefruit. At the HT, I picked up the cheap cabbage, more edamame, a couple of Mexican sodas, hominy, cilantro, wasabi peas, a coconut tart. Decided on the fine Irish dish of:

Chili.

Well, there are a lot of Irish in Texas. Besides, we haven't had homemade chili in awhile. Paid off the credit card in full, so these next two weeks feel like a retrenchment.

Borrowed a couple of current Paris guidebooks from a coworker, so DH and I will be poring over them for the next 8 weeks. (WOW - where does the time go?) I've planned ahead so I have my passport.

    Oh, I haven't had blood oranges since I was in Germany! I haven't been able to find them at stores here. Man, they're so good. Enjoy some for me. Smile I just did some quick looking and discovered that these wonderful oranges are grown in Texas, too, and are in season in March!! I'll have to call the larger stores in Longview and Tyler and see if any of them have them. Smile

    Blood oranges are great - like a regular orange with an extra added dimension, perfume-y, a little like jasmine.

    OOOH! You're heading to Paris? I was just there in February and December 2006. Love it. I'd go back tomorrow if I could.

    I had my first blood orange recently. It was a nice change but I don't know if I'd want them all the time. Grapefruit is my game.
