Alright people, its grapefruit time in Texas, and as many of you know, when something is in season it’s usually good and its almost always cheap.
.
Wal-Mart and other regular grocery stores have mostly the smaller size fruits. Whole Foods, however (who usually have fairly high prices), have an 18 pound bag of the big size fruits for $8.99 (that’s 50 cents a pound!), and they are fantastic! It is hard to find good fruit that cheap, so hurry and get some. We are about to get into our fourth 18 pound bag in the past month.

Sarah and I eat only fruit for breakfast, and when citrus fruits are in season and picked at the right time (silly farmers), they are awesome. I would highly recommend anyone who has access to these cheap, in season grapefruit, to give them a try for breakfast as well. You don’t have to give up your normal breakfast to give this a try, the grapefruit will be long gone from your stomach if you wait about 30 to 45 munites before eating something else.

Try it instead of coffee. I used to drink coffee every day to focus in the morning, and I was never as focused and energized as when I eat good, perfectly ripened fruit first thing in the morning.

My favorite way to eat it is by cutting it in half, and digging it out with a spoon. The skin around the meat is tougher than other citrus fruits, and this method allows you to get around eating it. It is a bit messy, especially if it is really good. Eat it over the sink and you should be fine. (^;

By the way, this is Sarah’s dear husband, Patrick. I will be posting every now and again. If anyone in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex knows of any good deals on good fruits or vegetables we would appreciate the info, especially if they are organic.

We look forward to hearing from you!
