If she had the proper words to say,

My very first ever corned beef is cooking away in the CrockPot right now. I'm so anxious to see how it turns out for dinner! I've also got dough rising for Refrigerator Rolls, and I made a mint chocolate cheesecake ahead of time last night. I'm thinking about making some lemonade and tinting it green, too. :-)

I must say, I always feel a bit bad for an orange when I grate away the peel for a recipe. It always looks so very sad and disheveled afterward. Once I had finished grating what I needed for the beef syrup, I patted the orange on its... head? ... and promised that I would eat the rest of it with love. In fact, I decided that the poor orange wouldn't want to be alone in my tummy, so I peeled up another one to go with it. Now my taste buds are singing the praise of yummy oranges (they are SO good right now - go buy some!), and the oranges are having a party in my tummy.

That's win-win, I say. *wink*

Guess who has eaten four oranges in the last two hours?
...
Did you guess me? Well, I have!

My darling dearest Philip went out and bought me four oranges this afternoon just before he left for work. I was busy making his favorite for dinner - Chicken Pockets - and so he wanted to do something for me, too. When I finished the dishes from Chicken Gumbo (for us) and Chicken Pockets (for him), I prepared all four oranges and put the wedges into a container.

And that container is already emptied. And they were so good, too.

I must admit, I feel a bit like I've turned into an orange now. I keep turning sideways in front of the mirror to see if I'm gaining any orange color around my 'gills.' At any rate, I say to the Scurvy Man as I dash away: "You'll never catch me!"

( And I also draw stupid pictures in Paint to further my point. )

Edit #1: See, and I figure that Scurvy Man would have had problems that afforded him only one leg and one arm. Fear him! Fear him in all his hopping, one-hand-grabbing ferocity!

Edit #2: MOG! I just noticed that I forgot to color in my other shoe! I'm an orange, and I can't find matched pairs of shoes! The horror!
