    Just right of center.
    When will someone breed an orange that peels as easily as a tangerine, and isn't wildly expensive like Cuties and Halos.

    I like cuties, but I think this tip will work for all types of citrus.
    Using a knife cut the peel along the equator of the fruit, not the
    knobbly ends, but the middle of the fruit. Then work each half
    off using your finger once you have a good start on the peel from
    the cut.
    That is what I use for Cuties, and I get them peeled in 2 pieces
    99% of the time, with no extra peel. Worked for oranges too.
    The trick is to cut just the depth of the peel all the way around
    the fruit, before you try to remove it. Though it's ok if you score
    the flesh in the process takes practice. :)

    Tangelo, in a 24-inch box. Prune carefully or you'll have hundreds in a season, making them extremely cheap. :D

    There are loads of orange peelers, but this is the one I am used to use. Tupperware. Lovely little thing. Screw you expensive oranges. Best oranges ever are Blue Jays.

    I'm fond of Cara Caras. OMG how I love Cara Caras. They used to be a regular feature in the winter boxes when I subscribed to an organic produce service.

    I also love tangelos, which are harder to find now thanks to the popularity of Cuties and Halos.

    I think I've just not had a good Cara Cara, because a lot of people I know seem to rave about them. Tangelos are a bit mild for me, at least the ones I've tried. I like a sweet and punchy orange.

    Is that Jake Paul? Did you just corrupt my eyes by exposing me to visage of Jake Paul?

    The more I watch of The Big Bang Theory, the more I see numerous events that were done in Friends, being rehashed. Is it so hard to write an original comedy show? :bigmeh:

    Eww. Big Bang in a nutshell: Everyday situation, one of the core characters uses a big word or makes a nerd reference, cut to Penny making a face, cue laugh-track.

    I think it's less hard to write original than it is to sell original.

    You should join me in the Brooklyn Nine Nine bubble. It's the only comedy show I watch, so not sure how it does in terms of originality, but it's got good reviews.

    Mrs. A and I have been watching that for a while. I kind of enjoyed it at first, but one-note characters can only sustain themselves for so long, and I think I'm pretty close to my limit.

    So I drank what I presumed to be decaf coffee in a pot labeled decaf, but instead it ended up being regular coffee.

    :dry:

    This is obviously a crime against humanity that need to be answered via a session in the United Nations and the Geneva Court of Human Rights.

    Had to pay 45 euro to post something that's contents wouldn't likely amount to half that much. Once it goes past 2kg, it get's expensive, so said the guy at the post office. Lesson hard learnt.

    Human head with all the skin, muscles, and brain weighs about 4.5kg.

    Just sayin'.

    That's why those of us in the know only ship the brains, without all that other stuff. We have graduate students remove the brains from the skulls. They do that for free - we just give them extra credit.

    We have, of course, experimented with freeze-drying the entire objet, but a reliable method of reconstitution has not presented itself. We want the brains, at least, to arrive at the customer's facility in working order.

    Also just sayin'. :eek: :D
