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.
Grapefruit isn't about sour--they're bitter too.
Yes, yes they are. Not enough sugar in the world to combat that bitterness.
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.
The fact that there's a whole feed-baby-a-lemon-on-camera subculture is astounding. If hilarious
Seriously! I love it.

They are so persistent. It's fantastic.
Mmmmmm grapefruit. Love them. No sugar needed.
I love both lemons and grapefruits. If the grapefruit is too bitter I use a pinch of salt on it but never sugar. I have been known to peel them and eat grapefruits like an orange.
Salt helps kill the bitter taste, but I suspect for me that I could pour shakersfull on a grapefruit and still not be able to eat it.
That's a good fight scene, Hec. The one of hers that sticks most in my mind is the tofu one, from
Tai Chi Master.
Poking around led me to this Puma commercial that I like too.
