| I was recently admonished to try new fruits, as there are many different varieties popping up in grocery stores. So today I tried a Blood Orange (above) and a Sumo Mandarin (below). Both are absolutely delicious. The strange ruby interior of the blood orange almost scared me off but it was delicious. And the Sumo orange was easily peeled (I found out after I cut it). But don't get attached to Sumos. This one orange was $1.88! |

| This question arose last week after I posted my photo of the holiday display at the Kauffman Memorial Garden. Orangeries can be traced back to Italy where the wealthy created greenhouses so they could have citrus fruit year round. Conservatories are an out-growth of that. Here you see the oranges at the Kauffman garden, allowing them to call it an orangery. |
