Anyone here remember the Jonas Brothers? Didn't think so. They lasted about 3 years. Justin Bieber came around and now they aren't the craze anymore. I say JB has 1 more year at the most.
 
Attended by 9 people. Their mothers, their manager, and a 4 man roadcrew that quits 4 days into the tour.

My Grandmother used to live near an orange farm in California. California Oranges are the best oranges.  :ok:
 
Oranges are a mandatory part of the backpack content when Norwegians go out skiing in the spring - together with chocolate, coffee and a solid lunchpack. Nothing like sitting down in the snow, in bright spring sunlight, and enjoying an orange before starting on the way home  :D
 
That's true, among the fruits one can get in the grocery store, oranges are among the more expensive.

Also, the oranges we get here in Norway are often hit-or-miss.  Some are sweet and juicy as they should be, others are dry and tasteless. I wonder whether it has to do with the long transportation or not? The closest country we import oranges from, is Spain.
 
Bananas > Oranges.


Still, one thing did make me laugh when I first went to South Africa. The family I stayed with had some marmalade - now being English, I love marmalade - but the thing that amused me was the label:

Made in Britain from South African oranges.

(or something like that).
 
Oranges are indeed too expensive to consume on a regular basis. But so are most fruits.

Having said that, I love a good, fresh orange. The type you don't get in supermarkets around here. So I mostly give them a miss, because they are going to dissapoint me anyway.

When it comes to fruits - and food in general - nothing in the world tastes as good as cherries.
 
When it comes to fruits, I'm not a huge fan of orange. Too much citrus acid for me. I do like a good tangerine, or a pear, however.

I had an orange tree at my old house.  It was fabulous.  More juicy, delicious oranges than we could possibly eat.  Now I have lemon trees but no orange tree.  Not as good.  But I do have a farmers market within a 5 minute drive from my house. Fresh, inexpensive fruit: one of the (many) benefits of living in California.
 
Yeah, my grandmother had a cherry tree in her garden. The cherries would be ripe just about this time of the year and everybody was looking forward to the incomparable cherry cake she made.
 
My parents have one of these in the garden. The problem is that I'm usually not home at the right time of the year ... but when I am, I can just stand under that tree, pick and eat until my stomach screams for mercy.
