It is that time of year...

BLOOD ORANGE TIME! I can't tell you how excited I am for this. You can't get good oranges in Pennsylvania and they don't even know what a blood orange is. Since moving back this is all I have wanted and have been patiently waiting till they are sold. I am finding though not many places, even the groves are not selling these oranges any longer. I am also saddened to see that many of Arizona's orchards are becoming extinct. How sad is it when we have the land that grows such amazing things and would rather see a new home on it? One day we wont even remember what an Arizona orange taste like and will be buying our fruit from another country! Anyway, I found ONE place that will be selling my favorite orange of all time. That time is upon us now and I just simply can't wait!

I must admit I have never tasted a Blood Orange. I am also saddened by the decrease in groves. I love farmland and open spaces filled with beautiful crops. Enough "cookie cutter" houses.
