Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I loves grapefruit! It's only sour if you eat anything other than the pulp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And aren't a supertaster. I like lemons. Grapefruit isn't about sour--they're bitter too.
Gah! I can't find the charger for the battery of my small camera. How irritating.

Actually, I think it's YTongueMV.
And look! My charger was not only right where I left it, but I left it where it goes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh -- I find lemons really bitter, but I like grapefruit. Only red grapefruit, though -- the yellow kind is bitter.

I'm drinking extra sour lemonade right now, AIFG. Truly.
I need something to overbalance the sweet of the CI test cake.
Did I mention how fabulous a crumb it had? Like, amazing. Some of the best textured cake I've ever made. And I like to make the cakes.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Grapefruit isn't about sour--they're bitter too.
Yes, yes they are. Not enough sugar in the world to combat that bitterness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My untimely death by apple has been averted by hanging my head upside down and coughing. Living alone is exciting.
I only like grapefruit if I smother that sucker in sugar. So, basically, I can't stand to eat them. ita, do they make your jaws hurt too?

do they make your jaws hurt too?
I pucker so hard my jaw muscles are trying to wrench my jaws out of socket.
It's just one of those foods that's not food to my tongue.
And you'll notice--the lemon babies tend to go back for more. That grapefruit kid? Fade to black.
