OK, but why are you buying oranges in spring/summer? Seriously. Oranges (at least around here) are in season in fall/winter. I used to buy fruit whenever I was in the mood for it, no matter what the fruit or the time of year. Then I talked to my Aunt Star (everybody should have an Aunt Star), and she won’t even buy apples unless it’s fall. Since I adopted this philosophy, I have not been disappointed by my fruit selection.
Just a thought.
Yes, they are indeed good, Canthearya. Think of it… little brownish dried-up pieces of orange rind… definitely a good snack!

Dry oranges are hell.
When I lived in California and was pregnant with my first son, I had near-constant cravings for blood oranges. Blood oranges are orange on the outside with a red blush, and are deep red on the inside. They taste like normal oranges, but with a hint of raspberry. At the time, they cost about $4.00 a pound, but IMO they were worth every penny. Until I bought a dry batch. A dry, crunchy blood orange is the height of awfulness.
Lindyhopper, you’re right about the apples. This time of year they have that plasticky fridge taste. Bleargh.
I was looking forward to our local peach harvest here, but we had two really bad hailstorms within a week. It happened to be the week the peach orchard was in full bloom. I’ll have to get out the orchard early, 'cause there probably won’t be many bushels for sale.
HELLO?!? Ugli fruit! Anyone ever had it?
::yeeeesh::
Not yet, Canthearya. Next time I go shopping I’ll give 'em a look-see.
