Min(n)eola

I used to think Mineola was a town on Long Island where "The Drake" (of Seinfeld Fame) lived. What with Gagliano's Italian and all.

But now, I've found that a minneola, pronounced the same (I can only assume) is a wonderful tart fruit which is a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine. And in the spirit of this blog, there will be minneolas.

There will not?

It seems the season of the lovely blood orange is coming towards a close. All good things must come to an end, it seems, but the course of seasons will begin them anew soon. I must always remind myself that no matter what, in the future TWBBO.

Oh, bicycle

I have forgotten how exhilarating it is to ride you through traffic. Even when the snow-melt has formed salt-flavoured freshets across the streets.
