Kids today take fruit for granted, but I'm glad we can eat it all year long. Neat you saw those movies--I never saw one!

That was a cute story you shared about oranges. One of my favorite fruits are oranges; I remember at Christmas we would get a big orange and a big apple in our stockings along with nuts, candy, little toys; always a treat for that big orange. LOL I saw the movies with Orange in it; thought Orange County was soooo funny way back then :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-54208694023285076412014-04-17T17:59:14.693-07:002014-04-17T17:59:14.693-07:00Hi Sharon, Your post on nutmeg is just fascinating...Hi Sharon, Your post on nutmeg is just fascinating. I had no idea that nutmeg was a fruit and who would have guessed that both the spice, nutmeg, and mace came from the same plant. I am curious what the taste would be like, but since I haven't had much luck finding an ice cream plant to purchase, I don't imagine I'll have any more luck with the nutmeg plant. I love that photo of you with your family. What a cute young girl. Oranges are a family favorite here too. I always thought they were indigenous to Florida. Well I guess they are now, but I had no idea that that was a transplant. Another reason to thank Columbus. Enjoying my visit through the A to Z challenge. Thanks Sharon.

Chocolate tastes great with orange. My mom always told me how, at Christmas, each child received a whole orange. Other times of the year-they would get an orange but had to split the orange between the 4 kids and it may have happened 3 or 4 times per year.
