Blood oranges

Russell brought over blood oranges yesterday from his grandparents, and tonight Lukas juiced them up. Let me just start by saying I now consider juicing the only option for consuming blood oranges, because it's a semi-controlled environment. These oranges are very dark red, so eating them on your lap in the park would lead to huge stains all over your clothes. I liked keeping the stains on the counter top, where I could wipe them off.

But since they're called blood oranges, that started a different line of conversation with Lukas, "Look at all that blood coming out!" as he juiced them. I think the last time I gave him a blood orange (one that wasn't so "bloody"!), he got a little freaked out by the name, so I started calling them raspberry oranges. This time, Lukas liked talking about the "blood".
