The Navel Orange

Some good news, all the better to start off the holidays. Daughter L was offered her dream job starting next July 2014. She was recruited out of the university. We are all over the moon and it's a big worry off our minds! She worked really hard competing for the job.



I was at the grocery store and one of the (Filipino?) clerks was replenishing the stack of navel oranges. She told me I should choose the ones with a navel, as pictured. I think she called it the 'mama' orange. She said it was much sweeter then the ones without an obvious navel. Who knows? I figured it couldn't hurt to choose those ones. And they were quite sweet.

In other news, Gigi was eventually able to leave a comment on my blog.  Blogger was asking her for authentication information then it stopped, so all is well!   I had mentioned the problem in this post.

Congrats to your daughter on getting her job, wonderful news! This is the right time of year for oranges, I enjoy them every evening. Blogger is sometimes problematic, but glad the problem has been solved! Valerie

I haven't have decent orange for a quite now, but when I buy orange I always tend to go for the navel obvious looking ones without knowing that they would be sweeter!

Congratulations to your daughter! That's wonderful news indeed. Interesting about the oranges, I prefer sweet ones, so the next time I select them, I will look for the navels :).

It''s WONDERFUL to have a job waiting for you when you finish school. That's a big load off of her (and your) mind.

I have found that ones with an obvious navel on the orange do taste better
