recent movies we've loved
Jane Eyre: All I can say is if you haven't seen it, go right now! Unlike Jane Austen movies this had a dark, almost creepy side/feel to it that had me riveted. And is just so good I couldn't stop thinking about it for days after seeing it. I want to own it desperately! (Christmas gift anyone?)
Super Mario Brothers: Reminds me of my childhood. Cheesiness and 90's feel goodness abounds.
Captain America: Ok, so we're a little biased towards superheroes in this house. But I love the costumes and Agent Carter's hair/makeup. And that Howard Stark is in it.

current favorite tv shows
Fringe: All time, hands down, favorite show in this house. I love it so much if I had stumbled upon the set while I was in Vancouver I would've been the person screaming "Anna Torv, I love you!!!" It is creepy but the characters suck you in (hello Walter!). If you haven't been watching it though, start at the very beginning. You'll thank me.
Project Runway: I'm always sad when a season ends. This show feeds my seamstress side.
Parenthood: I just love this show. Got hooked in the first season and can't stop watching.
Biggest Loser: This show makes me cry. In a good way. So inspiring. And I love Bob Harper.
Castle: I love Nathan Fillion. I didn't think he could match Firefly, but he proved me wrong.

Such a good question. I'm going to watch your comments to find out, because I don't know. Our grocery store always has samples of the oranges next to the produce, so I taste them first.
ReplyDeleteumm, i have no idea. but i usually win at costco.
ReplyDeletei don't know the 'technical' way, but for me I usually try and pick orange that feels like the peeling is a little thick ('cause then they are also easy to peal), the tangerines that are just getting soft, and clementines...i haven't figured that one out yet.
ReplyDeletei agree that it's hard to miss at costco. their produce is almost always great.
I try to look for "navel" oranges; they are usually sweeter I find. When I get bitter oranges, I just make Greg eat them (he will eat anything!!).
ReplyDeleteNo clue. But very good question!
ReplyDeleteYou know the hole at the top that looks like a belly button of sorts? Well, the bigger that is, the sweeter the fruit. Simple, yeah?
