I know I have said it before, though maybe not here in this public forum, but it remains true - I would be a blood orange. I love January - not for my birthday, though I do like presents; not for the various winter sports, though I am a fan of the warm beverages that follow them; not for the return to school, though I am usually ready for the mental re-stimulation the beginning of a new semester brings. I love January because it is citrus season, and that means blood oranges. Sweet, tangy, rich, lovely blood oranges.
Like so may things I love they are a mutant. Their beauty comes from abnormality - a pigment not found in other citrus.
A deep staining red.
Sanguigno.
Full-blooded.
Beauty on the tongue.
Breakfast.
Glad you found some blood oranges. That was my breakfast, yesterday. So tasty.
ReplyDeleteYummy, tastey, goodness! And you take great pictures too!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen/tried the True Blood soda? It's expensive as a marketing gimmick for the show, but it is blood orange flavored. I want to try it just for that.
I have had Blood Orange soda - but not the True Blood kind. To be honest, I didn't even know about it. I haven't watched the show or read the books, so I don't notice tie-ins as much as if I were more aware of it. But I will try anything that is Blood Orange, so I will keep my eye open now.

Sadly, there has been a shortage of blood orange soda in the state of Wyoming lately. Stores in both Casper and Laramie have been out of stock for the last 2-3 weeks. I am not a happy person at the moment.
