#Cara Cara navel orange

fruit review 7: cara cara navel orange
This orange is very cool to look at, the flesh is a really pretty salmon color! Sadly the flavor did not live up to the presentation :( it looks so juicy but sadly it is a pretty dry orange, it’s also sour which I don’t mind but combined with the dryness it wasn’t that pleasant. I’m a freak who eats the rind of the orange and the rind on this one was great, so fluffy and moist, it was super disappointing to go from that to the actual fruit.
4/10 I ate most of it but I couldn’t push myself through the whole thing :(

“Now, everyone knows the navel, but the real star of the orange family is the cara cara,” Owen says as he gestures to the platter of perfectly sliced orange wedges on the table in front of him. “It’s sweet, and doesn’t have too many seeds….like a cross between a naval and a blood orange. Go ahead,” he says as he pushes the tray forward. “Take one. I brought plenty of extra since I’m betting they’re going to go quickly.”
TK rolls his eyes then smiles at one of Jonah’s teammates who shyly asks him for a bottle of organic, low sugar apple juice.
It’s his week to bring refreshments to the game, and he was happy for the help when his father offered, but so far, all Owen has been doing is flirting with mom’s over orange slices while TK fights for his life, trying to remember which kid is allergic to red dye #40 and who can’t have processed wheat products.
“I used to eat these all the time when I was growing up in Santa Monica,” Owen continues, “there used to be a tree in our backyard.”
“You’re from California?” One of the mother’s asks as she pushes her hair behind her ear.
Owen nods. “California, and then I moved to New York City….spent that first summer as a lifeguard in the Hamptons…it’s where I realized I wanted to be a firefighter, that that was my calling.”
“A lifeguard to a firefighter, you’ve been a hero your whole life.”
TK groans as his father puffs out his chest.
“Well,” Owen says, “I wouldn’t say that.”
“I would,” another woman says. “TK, you never mentioned how interesting your father was.”
“Yeah, he’s really interesting,” TK says, “I think the most interesting things about him are that he’s nearly sixty and he’s been divorced twice.”
The smiles slowly slip from their faces as they make their excuses to head back to the bleachers.
“Thanks a lot,” Owen says and TK rolls his eyes. “What? You’re the only one that’s allowed to find love at the little league game?”
“You are not finding love with those women.”
“You don’t know that.”
“No, dad, you misunderstood. You. Are not. Finding love. With those women.”
“Why not?”
“They’re too young for you.”
“They’re not that much younger.”
“I’m pretty sure at least two of them are younger than me.”
Owen looks like he’s about to argue before he presses his lips together into a thin line and winces.
“Yeah,” TK says.
“Well, anyway, this is still fun. We should really invite the 126 to come to a game. I’m surprised you haven’t already.”
“Jonah wouldn’t like that. They’d be loud and he doesn’t even like it when I cheer for him like that. Which reminds me, you have to be cool. Don’t go crazy, don’t storm the field if you don’t agree with a call.”
“I would never do that.”
“The softball game doesn’t ring a bell? I guess getting punched in the face might mess with your memory.”
“That was an AFD-APD softball game against adults, not a child’s game. Plus O’Brien was being a—.” He cuts himself off as a couple of kids run by the table. “Butthead.”
TK snorts. “Nice.”
“Maybe we could have a cookout or something once the season ends. I could fire up the grill, you can invite Carlos and his niece.”
“Yeah,” TK says quickly, “maybe, I don’t know.”
“You know they miss you, right? They ask me about you because you don’t always text back.”
“I’m busy, dad. There’s a six year old that lives with me that needs me. I can’t spend my day sending cat memes back and forth.”
“I don’t think they expect you to do that.”
“I see Judd, sometimes. And Grace. And Mateo when we come over to hang out with Buttercup.”
“Okay,” Owen says. “All right.”
“I miss them,” TK says. “But I don’t know how to be around them right now, not after what I did.”
“You didn’t do anything, TK.”
“What I almost did. What I was going to do. How can they trust me?”
“They love you, that grants you some grace.”
“That’s unprofessional.”
“We’re a family,” Owen says as he squeezes TK’s shoulder. “We’re bound to be a little unprofessional from time to time.”
TK nods. “I’ll think about it.”
“Good,” Owen says. “We’re all here for you. We’re all on your side.”
TK nods as Jo suddenly calls his name.
“TK!” She calls, limping up to him with Carlos following behind, holding the first aid kit. “TK I need you!”
“What happened?” TK asks as he gets to his feet.
“She fell off the bench,” Carlos says, “even after I warned her to get down because I knew that would happen.”
“Don’t be mean to me,” Jo says with a stomp of her good leg. “I’m hurt.”
“It’s a scraped knee,” Carlos tells her. “I could put a bandaid on it for you.”
“I want TK to do it. He’s the paramedic.”
“Can’t argue with that,” TK says as he helps Jo onto the chair he vacated, and takes the first aid kit from Carlos with a wink. “Let’s get you fixed up.”

Being on the spectrum, and having weird interests is actually crazy sometimes. Just scratching an itch leads you down an hours long rabbit hole of discovery and wikipedia pages. For me, one of my more mundane interests is fruits, plants, and botany.
I was eating an orange. Just chilling, while feeding my dog. I wondered what my favorite orange (cara cara) was a crossbreed from (it's *gotta* be blood and navel right it's so tasty but distinct from other oranges, can't be a valencia the color's not right!)
So I looked it up. Turns out, there's like 600 of these bastards. Well let's fucking read about all of them.
Oh Ermelo's orange. That sounds weird. What's that.
Oh it's just called that because takes its name from 'Ermelo', a parish in Arcos de Valdevez Municipality, Portugal. It was introduced to the region by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, but it is sweeter than the average orange. Oh, but it's on The Ark of Taste.
What the fuck is that.
Well, turns out it's kinda like the Endagered Wildlife registry, but for sustainably sourced heritage foods and local cuisines. They see local foods as tantamount to cultural landmarks that should be preserved and foods go on the list if they are either impotant orbrelevant to a specific culture or ethnoregion, or are in danger of dying out whether from extinction or a fading cultural relevancy. They urge the perpetuation of their existence by encouraging their continued consumption. This includes foodstuffs like fruit from extremely specific regions, breads, cheeses, and even certain breeds of livestock that meat comes from.
Here's some fun ones: classic mortadella of all things (because it originates in Italy and has been a staple of their cuisine for centuries) cuccalar (a specific type of italian bread) casu marzu (a gross kind of cheese, do not google if you have a weak stomach) carosello (an italian melon), Lake Michigan Whitefish, Gravenstein Apples, Mayhaw jelly, bogong moths, and bunya nuts. They have things on the list from all over the world and it's actually really gratifying knowing that someone somewhere can see whatever random little thing you have and see everywhere, is valued, because it represemts a culture that not everyone has. I've had Lake Michigan whitefish. I consider it just a fish. But it's on a list of important culture for the US that should be conserved for the sake of culture, and that's kind of eye opening.
The Ark of Taste is run by Slow Food.
Ok. What the fuck is that.
Turns out it's an international org dedicated to preserving cultural foodstuffs that also emphasizes sustainability by supporting eating, growing, and traditional cooking local foods. Think Audobon but for cheese.
What was I reading about? Oh right, oranges. Oh the chocolate orange has a 12 Brix.
Ok.
What the fuck is a Brix.
Turns out Degrees Brix (°Bx) is the measure of dissolved solids in liquids and aqueous solutions, but is used to measure sugar content in foods and juices in common. So like Scoville scale but for sugar. Honey, soda, wine, sugar, fruit juice, fruits, and maple syrup use it to measure their sugar content. There's also some other scales that are used for sugar measuring. The Plato Scale (°P) is used in brewing, The Oechsle Scale used on german and swiss wine, and the Balling Scale, which is the oldest and not commonly used anymore.
What was I reading about? Oh yeah oranges.
Oh Smith Red Valencia. Sounds sultry.
It's a pigmented bud sport of the valencia orange tree.
K.
What's a bud sport.
Turns out a bud sport is any kind of sudden morphological difference growing from a plant caused by genetic mutation. Like when a dwarf pine starts growing foliage branches that are morpholigically identical to a regular pine. You ever notice how sometimes your christmas tree, if you get a live one, has irregular branches where they grow out longer than normal, and the needles are a bit different than the rest of the tree? Bud sport. Neat. Oh it's night time.
What was I reading about? Oh yeah. Oranges.
Yeah turns out I was right, cara caras are the hybrid of blood and navels. Knew it. Also, apparently oranges aren't even the original thing. They started out as a hybrid between pomelos and mandarins. Also, also, apparently fruit genomes have "moms and dads", i.e. the chloroplast genome is considered the "maternal line" of a fruit's ancestry. The orange's chloroplast genome comes from pomelos, meaning pomelos are the orange's "mother".

Okey dokey, you asked for it, so here are the most random questions that popped into my head.
1. When you roast marshmallows, do you let it brown slow and even or just shove it in the fire and blow out the now-steaming burnt marshmallow and eat it like that?
2. Red nail polish, yay or nay?
3. Cara-cara oranges, navel oranges, clementines, tangerines, tangelos, mandarins, or satsumas?
4. Favorite type of flowering tree? (I.e. dogwood, sakura, apple, those pink ones that I'n fairly sure give me hives)
5. Do you call hot dogs hot dogs, frankfurters, franks, weiners, or hakka diggity dogs?
6. Do you think it is ethical to name a child Peter Richard Johnson knowing all of those names are euphemisms for shlong?
7. If you needed a bandaid but the only options were Teletubbies, Monsters Inc, or Frozen, which one would you pick?
8. Peppermint, Spearmint, or Wintergreen?
9. If someone paid you $1,000 to pierce your belly button, would you do it?
10. Best type of tag? (I.e. freeze tag, tag-tag, ninja tag, etc).
11. Do you like washi tape?
12. What do you think i should name my car? I was leaning towards something ironic like Hot Cheeto because my car is old and silver and most certainly not hot.
Thank you so much! I ended up passing out not long after requesting distraction the other day so it's taken me a bit to answer. Thanks for your patience!
1. When you roast marshmallows, do you let it brown slow and even or just shove it in the fire and blow out the now-steaming burnt marshmallow and eat it like that?
I think this varies between parts. Sometimes we are very committed to slowly roasting the marshmallow to the perfect golden brown. Other times we stick it right in a flame to catch it on fire and blow it out once it's fully blackened
2. Red nail polish, yay or nay?
Yay for other people but nay for myself. If I wear nail polish, it's black
3. Cara-cara oranges, navel oranges, clementines, tangerines, tangelos, mandarins, or satsumas?
I enjoy all of these that I've tried. Navel oranges are great for juicing when cooking. Clementines and other small varieties make good snacks
4. Favorite type of flowering tree? (I.e. dogwood, sakura, apple, those pink ones that I'n fairly sure give me hives)
I think my favorites are weeping cherries! (I have a fondness for all weeping trees<33)
5. Do you call hot dogs hot dogs, frankfurters, franks, weiners, or hakka diggity dogs?
Hot dogs
6. Do you think it is ethical to name a child Peter Richard Johnson knowing all of those names are euphemisms for shlong?
That seems like a cruel and unusual punishment to inflict upon a child lol
7. If you needed a bandaid but the only options were Teletubbies, Monsters Inc, or Frozen, which one would you pick?
mmm probably Frozen
8. Peppermint, Spearmint, or Wintergreen?
Peppermint
9. If someone paid you $1,000 to pierce your belly button, would you do it?
Sure. Tho I wonder if I'd be able to. I have multiple scars in my belly button from separate surgeries. But for $1000 I'd give it a try
10. Best type of tag? (I.e. freeze tag, tag-tag, ninja tag, etc).
Tbh I don't remember playing tag well enough to have an opinion
11. Do you like washi tape?
Theoretically, yes. I think it's pretty and can be used in a lot of fun ways. But when we got some we didn't really use it
12. What do you think i should name my car? I was leaning towards something ironic like Hot Cheeto because my car is old and silver and most certainly not hot.
I think that's a fun name! I usually leave naming cars to my husband bc he's great at it and I can't handle the pressure lol

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen
It is the season of greens in the garden. Helped by plentiful rains and cool days, they thrive. Currently there are four varieties of lettuce, arugula, spinach, baby leaf chard and two varieties of kale.
Territorial Seed Company enticed me to try two new lettuces, Rosaine and Newham. Rosaine is described as “our new favorite Little Gem type. Rosaine produces very uniform crops of glossy maroon heads with green, dense hearts.” I’ll endorse that descriptions.
Newham is a buttery romaine. Both were direct seeded successfully and could be tightly packed. The Rosaine is pelleted seed so I’ll need to use this year. Note to self: rain arrives tomorrow so I should plant more.
I took the above greens to my son who lives in Downtown LA. For several years he had a rooftop garden above his 100 year-old loft. Roots in Downtown LA—2015 tells the story. He just bought his first home—a real fixer—so a vegetable garden is a few years off.
Cauliflower and Romanesco season is over, opening opportunities for late winter planting of carrots, more lettuce and potatoes. This Amazing cauliflower became Cauliflower Cheese Soup (the original Moosewood Cookbook) with some left for a vegetable side.
The last of ten Romanesco was transformed to Roasted Romanesco Pesto Spaghetti, an every year adventure. Several seedlings were mislabeled and I grew too many Romanesco and too few white cauliflower.
Now, I’ll enjoy small bits of leftover purple and white cauliflower and Romanesco in salads.
Our navel orange crop was light this year so I traveled to my sister’s home in Newport Beach to make orange marmalade from her abundant crop. She had picked two laundry baskets full of navel, Cara Cara and blood oranges. The next day she made another three dozen jars of marmalade for herself.
It was a pleasant day, recalling times when we helped our mother and grandmother make orange marmalade and other preserves.
And today’s church entry bouquet with alstroemeria, watsonia and geranium maderense leaves.
Check the What I’m Planting Now page as I transplant and sow seeds in the cool season garden. Then head today to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave at Happy Acres blog and see what garden bloggers around the world harvested last week.

Naval Orange Juice

I know I said that the Cara Mia orange juice, taste like childhood… Except I’m pretty sure the orange trees we had growing up were actually navel oranges. So, let the record stand that Cara Cara oranges make what I nostalgically wish my childhood treat had tasted like… And they are amazing.
However, Cara…

Winter Citrus Salad with Red Onions & Marcona Almonds
Start the week off right with a healthy salad!
I have been craving something light and fresh so when I saw this salad from Williams Sonoma, I had to make it! Blood oranges and navel oranges combined with red onion and Marcona almonds make the most delicious combination and fresh mint adds just the right flavor to finish! This salad comes together so easily…the hardest part is taking the peel and pith off the oranges, but it’s really important not to leave the pith because it has a bitter taste. Be sure to toast your almonds to get the most flavor…you might want to toast a few extra almonds to snack on while you’re making the salad because they are irresistible!
This salad would also be delicious with crumbled goat cheese sprinkled over for a light lunch. It’s an ideal first course for a richer entree such as pasta or something with a cream sauce! Citrus is at it’s best this time of the year and a little extra vitamin C in the winter is always a good idea! If you can’t find blood oranges, feel free to substitute more navel oranges or Cara Cara oranges, or a combination of all three!

Die gesundheitlichen Vorteile von Orangen gehen weit über Vitamin C hinaus
Die gesundheitlichen Vorteile von Orangen gehen weit über Vitamin C hinaus
Wenn das Wort „Orange“ während eines Catch Phrase-Spiels auftaucht, ist es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass der erste Hinweis, den Sie Ihren Teamkollegen nach „runden Früchten“ zurufen, „Vitamin C“ ist. Und während diese definitive, gut für Sie gute Qualität aller Navels, Cara Caras und Valencias (alle verschiedenen Orangensorten, übrigens) Sie definitiv gewinnen würde, ist dies nicht der einzige…
