" Yeah, yeah Grandma - I get it, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but I love oranges better!" In hindsight, I now, deeply regret not listening to my dear Nana. If only I gave those four oranges a day the flick and started getting my chompers into a red ball of crunch. Long story short; I ate so many oranges when I was younger that one day after devouring nearly a whole litre of orange juice, my lips, eyes, tongue, cheeks, well pretty much my whole head swelled up. I was devastated, not because I looked like a puffer fish on steroids, but because I knew my love affair with oranges had sadly come to a bitter end.
So basically the doc informed that my body had had enough oranges and decided to reject them, not to mention EVERY OTHER FRUIT besides apples and pears as well! Two of the most boring fruits right? You're telling me!! So over the last few years I have had to say no to pavlova, fruit salad, glorious fruit muffins and wait for it. . . . PUNCH! I reluctantly have forced myself to love apples. Off-hand I can name all varieties, the good and the bad. I have become an apple queen. Apple juice, apple pie, apple chips, apple sauce - you name it, I love it. So point of my rant - apples have just been announced the 'superfruit'. Go here to read about this magnificent discovery - just randomly, apples have eight times more antioxidants than bananas! Thank the Lord for that, I always thought banana's were so overrated. So now, with this informed knowledge, I will continue to eat a multiple array of apple produce each day, in the sheer hope that my lips, eyes, tongue and so forth keep feelin' the love.
