The Best Milk Right Now, Saint Benoit

I've been drinking this milk for about 3 weeks now and I look forward to it every night before bed. The flavor is sweet, mouthfilling, creamy, just beautiful. Why anyone would drink non-fat milk is beyond me. How can whole milk be bad for you when it tastes this good? I certainly don't recall anyone in Italy drinking non-fat milk.

Backyard to Table

The picture below is that of a tree widely grown in California and Florida; it's called an Orange Tree and it grows fruit that can be turned into delicious juice, called Orange Juice. Orange Juice in Central California is only available during the winter months, not July. Oranges are to Winter, as tomatoes are to Summer. 

Here's the magical process of picking real fruit in your backyard and turning it into juice. 

Find Tree and Pick your Oranges (that filthy Pine Tree and its needles!):

Slice Oranges in Half (organic oranges have been known to scream, backyard oranges are silent when cut):

Juice Orange in old school juicer (the orange, seen here, was washed in Municipal Tap Water, which is actually safe to drink here in the United States. Water comes from a local source, not New Zealand or France):

Drink Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice!

(Warning: Orange juice may contain pulp, which is ok. This juice is not pasturized, but I'll play the odds and say I'm not going to die from E. Coli today):

Thank you Grandma for planting this fruit bearing and productive tree.

(Besides, what's a box fern ever done for you?)
