I love living here along the gulf coast, I really do, at least during citrus season.
Feast your eyes on these lovely blood oranges from the co-op this week!!! While I don't particularly care for the name "blood orange" (why can't we call it a sangria orange instead? Same meaning, such a lovelier name, isn't it?) At any rate, this bunch are particularly tasty. Their typical raspberry flavor has actually spilled over into a cherry flavor. So amazing. And look at the color of their skin! Just gorgeous.
And here's the pile of Meyer lemons I got this week, too. Did you know Meyer lemons are a cross between a Mandarin orange and Eureka lemon? That's why their skins are thinner and the flesh a bit sweeter.
All I can say is yum. Now I have to figure out what to do with all of this gorgeous citrus! I was thinking of a orange marmalade (can you imagine the color!?) and some more preserved lemons. Any other suggestions or ideas?

Secondly,
Lemon curd, homemade orange soda, blood orange jello jigglers for the kiddies, lemon sorbet, ice pops! Did I mention I was jealous! But so very happy for you :) I could bathe in lemon zest, love it!
