I've never been much a fan of oranges -- maybe its their acidity, they're pain to peel (OK so I'm lazy!), piths are bitter and a hassle to scrape off, and so on.

Well, DH spied a box of Clementine oranges, aka seedless tangerines, in a pretty and tempting display* near the checkout line at the grocery store the other day. He said "ooh I love clementines, let's get some!" and I shrugged an OK, figuring he could have the lot.

Well. These puppies are everything ordinary navel oranges are not.

They're very easy to peel (even for lazy me), have very little pith, and easily separate into segments.

And Oh. My. Goodness. Sweet and juicy with not much acidity. Downright yummy. Me like.

(*our local grocery store puts up tempting displays of reasonably OK/less awful snack foods near the checkout ... it's their attempt at making checkout lines more family friendly. Hey, kudos to them.)
