Four Clementines

I happened to be heading out to take some snow shots the other morning, when these clementines caught my eye. They always look delicious and taste even better. When they're around, I usually take a couple to work each day. However, the huge naval orange is in a class by itself in my book and something special indeed. They peel so quickly and smoothly. Mom showed me how to cut the top and just slice a few cuts in the skin from the top cut to the bottom. After that, voila! The orange peels very easily into perfect slices. The skin of the slice doesn't break until the juice hits your tongue.
