I loves grapefruit! It's only sour if you eat anything other than the pulp.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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?

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.
