Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains

3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.

Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.

Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.

Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.

Orange juice freezes spectacularly jsyk. I like to make ice cubes

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I’ll probably just end up eating them.

They’re fairly big oranges and I lack a juicer too.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Always worth having a little jug juicer for citrus, but delicious oranges are delicious

Chop them in half across the equator, let the cut surfaces dry a bit then sprinkle with sugar and put under the grill until the sugar melts and goes a bit brown. Eat with a spoon. It's the perfect antidote to a rich heavy meal. Thank me later.

I’ll bookmark this for later. I hadn’t considered that option before and am a little curious about it now.

Cutting them in half and whacking with a mallet is good enough for brewing juice..,

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sounds messy.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well yes, but if you do it in minimal attire in a bathtub you might get secondary income as well as home brew

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

I’m not sure I’ll recoup the cost of a mallet from that alone.

Might be a bust.
