Banana you glad that I didn't say orange?

This past month we've been enjoying one of our favorite snacks.  I thought I'd share. 

Orange
Ingredients:
-1 orange

Steps:
Peel and enjoy!

A few comments, however.  First, if you were raised in the mullen household, you probably are aware that you can peel your orange so that it looks like an elephant.  It's quite fun, and is much easier than peeling an elephant to look like an orange.  Second, if you buy them for less than $.78 a pound, make sure and tell Mom, as if she finds out you paid less than this you are in for it!  Third, you can tell when oranges are on sale at superstore for less than $.78 a pound, as there will be about a hundred oranges or so in the Mullen house.  Fourth, this comment isn't about the recipe, but I think it's important.  Make sure and wash behind your ears, or it will get dirty there.  Fifth, oranges are very healthy.

 I think on the weight watchers scale they are zero points.  Despite this, I still recommend them.  Most zero point items are blah (like ricecakes or lettuce), but these are okay.  Sixth, you can make juice out them.  Seventh, you can make your house or apartment smell nice by playing the "orange game".  Note, this is adapted from the grapefruit game I played at college, but in theory it should work the same way.  Here's how to play.  Gather a group of friends, and sit in the room you desire to make smell better.  Play catch with orange.  Make sure and do quick throws, as the point is to get the orange bruised up a bit by hitting the walls.  After playing a while, it really does make the place smell better!  Eighth, the latin name for oranges is Citrus sinensis.  Ninth, the juice from the orange is acidic, with a pH of around 2.7.  That's about the same as vinegar.  Tenth, Riboflavin in french is still riboflavin.  So in Canada, when you're looking in french at the health information, you have no worries about riboflavin.  Eleventh, Brazil is the world's largest supplier of oranges by far.  They produce about 17.8 million tons a year.  That's almost a third of the total world production.  Twelfth, this is the last note.
