Citrus bonanza.

Mom sent us a gift certificate from Pittman & Davis orchards at Christmas. We got a batch of fruit from them yesterday. http://www.pittmandavis.com.  The ones on the right are Temple oranges, a cross between a tangerine and an orange.  The ones on the left are gigantic ruby red grapefruit and are delicious!!!

Need to order a bunch more of these.

Mmmm!  Autumn means grapefruit season!   Texas produces some sweet, delicious grapefruit.  There are many different ways to enjoy them.

One is a drink some people call a Greyhound:

Fill tall glass halfway with ice
2 oz vodka
8 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

 

Delicious!  But, sadly, not so great for anyone taking statin meds to treat high cholesterol, FYI.

We enjoyed a couple tonight while rooting (in vain) for Cincinnati to beat Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.
