I have a problem with grapefruit and oranges where I can never get quite enough of the membrane off. I was told that it comes right off if you boil the orane, but then, you have a boiled orange, which sounds less appetizing to me. i guess I should stick to apples and pears.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You should try tangerines and tangelos - they peel more readily and have less membrane.
I used to eat grapefruit by slicing it in half and using a grapefruit spoon. No membrane that way.
Vortex is me WRT grapefruit.

On Saturday, I was a combatant in Ealdormere's 16th Crown Tournament. I had fun fighting. I have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my right bicep. No pictures yet. On Sunday, I helped a friend set up a new tv/dvd/vcr (but can't make my own work the way I want them too) and had dinner. I also threw out/bundled for Goodwill (depending on suitability) about 3 big rubbermaid tubs worth of clothes I had in storage, and found my edition of Beowulf in the Old English (Klaeber, 3rd edition) that I thought was lost.
Today is much with the gronkly.
Love grapefruit. And for somebody who likes sweets as much as I do, also love sour things. I like to put salt on grapefruit. My weekend: Nothing much. Finished a book on amnesia, wrote...Watched "Lorenzo's Oil" again.
Okay, I know it's a callback to discussion a whole handful of posts earlier. But these two, at the top of a page of posts?

Love grapefruit.
One of the kinkier x-posts ever.
Did it make you all sniffly?
I totally cried. And then called my mom.

And John Sweden brings the convo full circle.
On Friday, went out with a friend who'd had a death in the family. She just needed her friends around her. Wasn't melancholy, just supportive.
Saturday, went to my 23 year old friend's house party. Quite reminiscent of college parties. It was his first big party and he was very excited. It was so cute. I even was the only one sober at 3AM when there was need for an emergency beer run :)
Slow typist, although I guess I could clobber JohnS, too.
