It's Citrus Season!


My good intentions of blogging at least once a week have been just that: good intentions.  I have no excuses. I will continue to strive to do better~

This is citrus season in Cairo. We are getting loads of fresh oranges and grapefruits. This is one of my favorite sights! A donkey cart covered with grasses, loaded with oranges, many with the stems still attached!







They smell so good!



I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Egypt grows blood oranges!
You can see when they are sliced, that they have a reddish color to them.


This is the juice as it was squeezed.


It sort of reminds me of a Tequila Sunrise!


The flavor is sweeter than a regular orange and not as acidic. Wonderful!
