Extra Bloody

A trip to visit one of our favorite families turned into a citrus palooza.

We picked grapefruits, oranges, blood oranges, tangelos, and tangerines.

I couldn’t wait until we got home to peel off the orange skin and taste a fruit that made me feel just like summer. In fact, I didn’t wait. I sat on the grass, peeled my orange, and ate it all up.

When we got home, we started an assembly line of cutting and juicing.

I’ve never been a fan of orange juice (milk is always too good to resist!), but our citrus cocktail is the most bomb-diggity drink that I have ever tasted. The grapefruit gives it a punch of flavor, while the blood orange sweetens everything up. Throw in every other member of the citrus family and you’ve got yourself a masterpiece.

Yep, I saved this picture for last.

Husband is still pretty cute, even with mean eyebrows, a woman’s apron, and a glass of straight blood orange juice.
