Lost in Translation


I went to the turkish shop at the corner of the street to buy some fruits. I particularly wanted oranges, the kind with loose peel. (That actually sounded like cellulite!) Inside, I can't help but take a photo seeing this: greyfruit instead of grapefruit. :)  I had to check if this is the turkish name but I was convinced that this is just a confused fruit. lol. 

Anyhow, I did bought some oranges and bananas...the kids need this regularly as spring approaches...their allergies are also starting to. Aside from the usual medication they take Vitamin C and what other minerals thec can from fresh fruits.
Whenever I'm not able to get those loose peel oranges, I get the other types but make orange juice from them...we just love this citrus! Some weeks ago, I had this supposedly healthy meal from Yili...that's where I get my fix of wraps and bagels. I came back last month because I promised Kuya O that I'll get him some bagels. To my dismay, they've changes their menu. Gone were the bagels and wraps, there are still a few of the familiar food I like but not my favorites... :( There were more catered to chinese food now which is not so healthy IMHO.


(Chicken guacamole wrap, orange juice and a sort of turon-banana in a wrapping with sugar glaze, chinese style)

  3. I think the fruit knows exactly what it is--it's the fruitkeeper who's confused!


    A TOUCH OF THE GOLD

    They say just a touch of the gold
    Will make even timid ones bold;
    Try yellow, not blue,
    And bright amber too—
    Do not be left out in the cold!
