A Secret Love


I love grapefruit. I don't know a whole lot of people that actually enjoy this tart citrus fruit but I crave it. I used to get super excited when I opened the kitchen fridge and saw a big bowl of segmented grapefruit that my mom peeled up. My favorite way to eat it is peeling it like an orange AND peeling off the white skin parts. However, I really don't like all of the sticky fingers. So, blog buddies, I am asking you a question.

Do you share a love for this magical citrus or are you sitting there thinking I'm crazy?

Now, for my real question.....

Have you ever used a grapefruit spoon or sectioner? Are they really worth it?

I'm tempted to invest...

oh i have a bunch and eat them every day.. trader joes has the best and at the best price. and i learned ot cut them in wedges and make grapefruit smiles.. the easiest way... my mom had one very day of her life and my sweet dad would carefully cut them for her for breakfast. and every time i came over around breakfast he had one for me.... he knew how to take care of his girls. i feel like going downstairs right now and getting one ..

I grew up with parents that LOVED it, now and then I might have a fresh one, but I have a disorder that keeps me from consuming large amounts of citrus, it sucks, but I have to follow my doctors orders! Yeah right, lol, if that was the case I would not eat it at all, then get scurvy!
