    I just ate the best fricking grapefruit.

    I stole it from my neighbor's tree, I actually took two.

    Every morning going to school, I'd spy them as they were growing, He's not home so I woke up at 1:35 the other morning, walked out to the front of his house, reached over and nabbed two.

    It was cold, juicy and sweet.

    Had I taken the time to segment that bad boy?

    I would not have that small taste of bitterness that comes with eating the skin on each section.

    California Citrus. It's a steal!

    IF he wasn't such a jerk...

    If you are industrious?

    Take the skin off the segments. That is what makes them bitter!

    I made myself a fruit salad with GF, watermelon and apple. A little mayo?

    The GF was a little bitter but, dang, I was refreshing.

    You just made my mouth water. But not in a good way. Is this the same neighbor w/the broken glass?

    Love grapefruit!!! The pink is sweeter too. But just sprinkle a little sugar or sweetener on it and dig in for a real refreshing treat.... YUM. I'll take that over an orange any old day.

    Have you ever eaten Clementines? You see them a lot around the Christmas season. They are like a tangerine, only smaller and much sweeter and not acidy at all. They're delicious.
