Breakfast of Champions

November 29, 2007
Yesterday I was on my way to my favorite cheap grocery store when I saw a sign at another favorite store of mine (Sigona's–a local farmer's market) advertising a sale on oranges, five pounds for $1. Oh yeah, it was my lucky day! One of my favorite things about winter/Christmas is orange season. I was in heaven. There were tons of beautifully ripe oranges right at my fingertips! So, I did what any smart shopper would do... I bought 20 pounds of oranges! 10 pounds of the oranges went to friends, and the rest to my kitchen to be consumed. Last night I tried out a citrus juicer that Chris and I got for our wedding. Yeah, it's been almost a year and a half, and it was the first time we've used the thing. It was great! I made some orange chicken, which turned out fabulous. I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't able to get a picture of the dish last night (the sun has been setting at 5:30). I do, however have a lovely picture of what we did with six oranges this morning, the orange juice was so good. mmmm... breakfast-eggssm.jpg
