Remember my thread "Grapefruit is vile!"? Well, while grocery shopping the other day, I came across some Del Monte red grapefruit in a big container. It's packed in a light juice. I've got to admit, it's good. It's really good. As a matter of fact, I can't leave it alone. I still need to add some Splenda to it but no biggie. So go ahead w/the "I told you so's". LOL I still hate apples, though.
Stay away from nylon undies, they don't burn, they melt!Quote:

LOL, I peruse the site for only the best threads and torture the people in them mercilessly!:D
More like sour grapes, I guess. That's why I love ya, Richard; the verbal jousting. :)Quote:

If you prefer Splenda, maybe mix some into a container of water, put some fresh grapefruit chunks into it, cover tightly and let it 'marinate' in the fridge for a day or so. Serve at room temp.
That might work too!
Oh, peachy!Quote:

I remember the other thread and am glad you found some grapefruit that you like, but I just have to ask this:
Why would you purchase the grapefruit in the container if you had such an adversion to grapefruit? LOL
Moesha - maybe because it was in a light syrup? Or maybe it looked PRETTY! :p
They test their labels, ya know...Mary been HIP-MO-TIZED! (thank you, David Letterman!:D )
I guess because it was red. It just looked so luscious! And besides, I was determined to like grapefruit. I've felt the same way about brussel sprouts. They look so good and I've tried so many different recipes and I'm sorry but they're just so bitter. I love cabbage so I thought they'd take like cabbage but they don't. I want to like apples, too, because they're such a pretty fruit.Quote:

I don't like either one of those, sorry, Candace. I've never seen Honeycrisp apples so I guess I'll be on a quest. ;)Quote:

Come on Mary - "try it - you'll like it". You did the grapefruit! :D
Red Delicious are the worst, Gigi. I do put them in chicken salad and they're ok that way but just thinking about biting into an apple makes me cringe. Whenever my son visits, I like to stock up on his favorite foods and he likes one particular apple (of course, now I can't think of it) and I only buy one at a time because I can't stand the smell of it in my kitchen. I'm such a bad mom.Quote:
