Blood orange antidote for winter blast

We are in a second day of snowfall. Yesterday was blustery too, so suspect there is a lot of drifting on top the several inches accumulation.

Fortunately I was able to get out for groceries on Friday before the weather turned, so can stay indoors except when Bode needs to go out.

On impulse I bought a couple blood (Moro) oranges at Giant Eagle in Indiana. I hadn’t had this variety for a couple years. I usually try to buy local produce but oranges are an exception. In Western PA you don’t grow citrus unless you have a greenhouse. So I watch for the different varieties that come in season as winter progresses.

I peeled the first blood orange after a breakfast of corn meal mush this morning. The flesh was deep red and the juice had hints of mulled port wine with just a trace of bitterness. It was like a vacation from the wintry blast.
