  1. Can you peel an orange with one peel? You go girl! I’ve heard of an apple peel in one peel.
    You’re reminding me and my stepdad are in the middle of doing a Downton Abbey Marathon. We need to put in season 3 to keep it going. We love us some Maggie Smith (or as Bobby calls her, Momma 😉 )!

      1. I was in a creative writing class one time with an assignment to take home and orange, peel it, eat it, and write about the experience of eating it. Whoo, Girl. The stories!
        Mine was called The Abduction of My Creative Writing Orange because it did not stay in the fridge! It was stolen before I could eat it, so I told a creative story of how I had imagined eating it, but had failed to keep my orange safe.. lol. Those stories between just a had full of people were so provocative that the last guy we got to said, “Well after I compose myself, I am afraid I have a pretty boring paper because I just ate a simple orange, and that was that… it wasn’t operated on, murdered, or seduced. It was just an orange.” LOL
