Clementines, my darling

Mmmm… clementines are in season. These small citrus fruit resemble mandarin oranges and are as much fun to peel as they are to eat. Experts among us can get the entire peel off in one piece (a skill I perfected during my junior year abroad in Italy – hey, at least I learned something).

Clementines are appearing in vast quantities around here these days, imported from Sicily and Spain. Good thing, too, since it’s super-easy to eat 3 or 4 (or more) in a sitting. Yum!
