A neighbor is harvesting grapefruit from her trees. She gives them away
every year. Surprising, the rare snow and ice only did a little bit of
damage. I went by and picked up a few.

She does this every year. She had baskets full of them on the driveway.
I can only use a few of them. Grapefruit itself is tasty (needs some
sugar) but the juice is good for marinade. Pork ribs, flank steak.
Things like that.

I always like it when people share something that is useful to me, I try to
do that when I can too. I'm sure you do as well.

Grapefruit marmalade is a treat.

With skin and all? I find that so weird.

Of course it is skin and all. Marmalade, by definition, is made from the
juice and skins of citrus fruits. The peel is what gives it the tart and
bitter taste that makes marmalade a special treat. If it bothers you
that they use grapefruit skin you should re-consider Seville orange
marmalade. At least grapefruit and its juice are good. I dare you to try
to eat a Seville orange. Those things are just plain nasty.

Of course. Marmalade uses the entire citrus fruit including the pips
(which are tied in muslin and cooked with the rest to extract their
pectin, then removed).

Never saw it around here,but I have a jar in the refrigerator. Picked
it up at a roadside stand in Florida. They also had grapefruit with
strawberry.

I've kept a small jar of orange marmalade here for the past many
months. I love it occasionally on a half slice (or 2 half slices)
of buttered rye-bread toast.

I'll bet a marmalade made from half grapefruit and half oranges
would make a nice combo.

Wonderful. Just throw the peel in the bin, where it belongs.

Lucky you! I love grapefruit too. A lot of us can't have any kind of
grapefruit anymore because it has adverse effects with some
medication.

I miss grapefruit. It used to be my go-to fruit juice or fruit.

Yes, I noticed when I was taking care of my mother she couldn't have
grapefruit. It would interact badly with one of her medications. One
of her blood thinners, she couldn't eat spinach or leafy greens, either.
Fortunately I don't have those problems.

It's nice the crop of grapefruit wasn't spoiled. She said what fell on
the ground during the snow/ice split and the birds and squirrels ate it.
Didn't go to waste!

Same as when I crop too many apples. Bunnies and squirrels have a
feast on them.

I also pass them on to neighbors and the kids here know it's fine to
snag the bigger ones they can reach (and let the littler ones grow big
to eat later).

I am envious. I used to love grapefruit. I had a problem with citrus
fruits for a long time, but then got rid of my rotten gall bladder. The
last time I had grapefruit I was so affected by it at work the next day
that I had to go home. I have tried eating small amounts of oranges and
getting away with it. I think I am almost ready to try grapefruit again.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.
