winter mandarines

I don't know if it's a pregnancy craving, or just my love of oranges- but I am seriously addicted to the winter tangerines! I find myself going through at least a box a week. That's anywhere from 5-7 a day! Baby might come out looking a bit orange.

And, I've learned that I have to pick them out at the store myself. I am pretty much a professional now when it comes to smelling and feeling the ones that will be not too sweet, not too firm, not too sour- but juuuust right. I also trick myself into thinking that all of this fruit balances out all of the fabulous Christmas sugar. Hey, makes sense- right?
