I got a new job a few weeks ago. We'll leave how much I like it out of this post.
Because of said job - I have become a lunch making, snack packing person. As I'm trying to eat/snack healthy while Lincoln's growing - many of those snacks consist of fruit. So during a 6 1/2 hour meeting I had yesterday - we had box lunches brought in and there was a piece of fruit in each box. Lucky for me - I didn't get the orange. Nor is my house ever stocked with them on a regular basis b/c I HATE the orange fat. I love the Clementine's and buy them in bulk and will eat 3-4 on a regular day b/c they rarely have the orange fat, and if they do - it comes off very easy.
I'm sure the term 'orange fat' is incorrect - but that is what I have decided to call it. Orange Fat is all the white stuff left on the orange after you peel it - see following picture:
If all oranges looked like this:
Then I would buy oranges.
Come to find out during the meeting - I'm very justified in my orange fat dispute as 3 other people said they don't buy oranges for the exact same reason.
Please noone tell me that the orange fat is the healthiest part of the fruit.

Oh my heck, I totally agree with me. I mean I like oranges but I hate how much of the white crap is left. Congrats on the job though, I am so happy for you!!! Love ya!!
I hate oranges for the exact same reason. I peeled one for one of my nephews the other night and it took me forever because I tried to get as much of that "orange fat" off as I could. I hate that stuff. By the way....I love the name Lincoln!!!!! Too cute. And....when are we going to do lunch? I think of you every single time I drive past Paradise Bakery :)
Clever.....I also HATE oranges.
Maybe you should now post pics of your nursery!!!
Oranges are delicious but you are totally right the "fat" is bitter and the texture is gross! I want baby updates also. Lincoln is a very cute name! Hope all is going well, I'd love a phone call when you aren't busy!
OOOH send all your orange fat to me I LOVE IT!!!! and I eat about 10 oranges and there fat a week :) Sorry about your dislike I know I hate eating fish period.
