'Tis the Season...

...to eat citrus!  As the winter months begin, huge truck-loads of oranges come from the tropical areas of South Africa to Lesotho.  At the height of the season, one can by a bag of 40 oranges for less than $2.  Yesterday we bought a bag of oranges at the grocery store.  The name on the bag was Cara Cara.  We just assumed it was a farm name or company name.  When we cut the first orange we got a surprise!  The peel is orange like an orange but the inside is reddish like a grapefruit.  Fortunately (for me who doesn't care for grapefruit) they taste sweet like oranges.
