blood orange

oh, man. i'm so not in the mood for this, but i said i'd post, so i'm going to do a half-assed job of it (for now, til edits and real text come).

observe, the blood orange: it's beautiful, pleasantly touched with red on the outside

and ruby in the middle.

more bitter than a regular orange, in a tasty way. though of the three i bought, some parts had an odd taste i would almost describe as meaty. that was gross.

it made a really good sweet/savory salad with celery leaves and chile flakes. recipe link to be posted later. it's at epicurious (look for blood orange and italy) if you desperately want it now.
