Midwinter Citrus

All the fun stuff--Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, my birthday--is over, and Valentine's Day seems a long way away. What is there to cheer a person up?

Well, citrus, for one. Here in SoCA, it's practically falling off the trees. Everybody and their uncle has a tree (or two or five) in their yard that's laden with fruit. The squirrels are going nuts with the oranges.

These oranges and limes are store-bought, but the lemons are from my sister-in-law's back yard.

Lemon sorbet for dessert tonight!
