Anali: Thanks! Even though it’s been a little difficult to keep posting, I’m glad that I signed up for NaBloPoMo. If I hadn’t, I would most likely be neglecting Pinch My Salt and it’s always hard to get started again after I take a break!

Curt: You’re right, I didn’t even think about that! I was just browsing through some older photos yesterday and these jumped out at me.

Ruby: I already have plans to try to get some of your mom’s blood oranges! Lucky for us, they do grow in the valley! Not sure about southern California, I’m sure I’ll be able to find some. The problem is that they are probably fairly expensive and I’m used to buying a crate of them for five bucks or so!

Emon: Thanks!

Katie: I love it too! In Italy, even the orange juice you buy in grocery stores is red most of the time because the Sicilian blood oranges are so popular.

Jason: I can’t remember if we had them while you were here. We probably bought some at that little Farmer’s Market, that’s where I was buying them a lot last year.

Amanda: I’ll try it!

MyStarbucks: They are certainly startling if you’ve never seen them before. I had them occasionally growing up in California so I was already used to the look of them!

Andrea: They do sell them in the United States but they are definitely harder to find!

Cynthia: They don’t taste that much different than other types of oranges. And just like regular orange juice, it just depends on the oranges! But I haven’t had many bad oranges in Sicily!
