(Need to get back into the habit of writing.)

Random thought for Friday.

Orange juice is plentiful. This means that somewhere there are oranges being juiced. Yes, probably skin and all, but the skin is pretty dry. Anyhow. Orange juice seems to imply that you can, in fact, get juice out of an orange.

I would like to know where the juice actually comes from.

Now, granted, oranges are not a fruit native to the PNW, so all the ones we get here are from out of state (if not country. But at least state).

I have bought oranges at Safeway. At Costco. At Trader Joe's. And the local fruit market. At the expensive foofy supermarket. They all share something in common (not price which varies widely).

They are all dry.

These are not oranges where the juices run down your chin. These, for the past few years, have mainly been dry, insipid fruit, with barely any flavor. Always disappointing.

So.

How the hell do I get my hands on the oranges that Tropicana et al get their juice from?
