I have a simple recipe for you.

Wash the oranges,
peel them,
separate the sections,
open your mouth,
put in one section at a time,
close your mouth,
chew,
swallow,
repeat until there is no more orange left.

Use this recipe daily until the oranges are gone. Oranges are amazing when they are in season. My mother has an orange tree and brought us a couple dozen. We quickly finished them using the above recipe.

The only thing I know how to make with oranges is this orange salad stuff I make a Thanksgiving. I use canned mandarin oranges, but I’m sure you could use fresh, big ones. You mix the oranges, orange jello, cool whip, small curd cottage cheese, & crushed pineapple in a big bowl and then let it chill until firm. It would have to be a might big bowl though to use up all of those oranges.

Margo-
You are hilarious! I loved your “bio” in the third person. So funny.
I too was dx with Adult ADD. At first after my Mom died I thought (being the grief therapist I am) my new found distractibility was a manifestation of my also new found despondent grief state and would soon enough pass. It didn’t -my niece and dearest friend told me I MUST get on some medicine…some resistance on my part.
Anyway, thanks for the info on writer’s group. I am looking to join one but I want to find the right one. My main objective is to get into a critique group-one with members who are published and would provide me gentle but solid feedback.
If you have any other suggestions or other ideas of where to find this I’m all ears.
Thanks, Margo-oh, I would LOVE it if you would consider becoming a follower on my blog. I am working on a memoir and periodically will be posting excerpts. Asking for people to share feedback. At least tonight that’s the plan
Happy New Year!

@ aunt jackie, land of shimp, nicole and jen – I think I will kill a few birds with a bunch of oranges by playing ding, dong and ditch with mimosas. I’d be thrilled if someone did that to me!

If you don’t think you can eat (or juice) them all-spread the love around…wish your neighbors a happy new year too!

Make orange fennel salmon Stick some in the produce drawer in the fridge, they will keep until your husband gets back. It’s hard to figure out who to give them too, if you don’t already have a group of something in your life, but a food bank or soup kitchen may be able to use them.

Or you could leave little piles of them on your neighbor’s front doorsteps, ring the bell and run away Yes, that’s the one I think you should do . Make them think that the Orange Fairy has bestowed a gift. Never own up to doing it. Let them tell the story of, “and then, it was the strangest thing, there was a little pile of oranges sitting on the welcome mat.”

Do this on your own front doorstep, so as to blend

Or, you know, you could put them in the produce drawer in the fridge, and they’ll keep for a little over a week. You should also listen to this Bright Eyes song called, “Bowl of Oranges”.

I always thought it was a Buddhist custom to give oranges.

Well, I’ve babbled enough here.

You could hand squeeze them (god forbid) haha.

Or you could drink a shit-ton of Blue Moon beer, which is always served with an orange slice.

Or peel them all, slice them by hand and blend them with ice and some other tasty treats to make a smoothy.

I’m not very creative these days. Where’s my mojo?

@ mobius, maybe they do contain lead – I woke up with an evil cold today!

@ lawyer mom, if I could smell, that would be a great one. I love that smell. You have reminded me that maybe need to make a hot toddy from that recipe I posted a few weeks ago. Yes!

@ aaaar, I’ve been trying to ward off scurvy myself with some kind of fancysmancy isometric supplements. I keep telling myself that I’d have some awful disease without them. Hope the move went well
