Episode 2: Orange juice and posicles


In this show I visited my friend's orchard for fresh oranges. When you make your juice you can get a bag of juice oranges from the market. But if you live in Southern California or Florida then you should definitely make friends with people who own orchards. I also prefer organic oranges. They're the yummiest. After you bring home your oranges it is best to rinse them off first. (It is windy in Southern California so they collect a lot of dust.) After you rinse them, slice each one in half. Then squeeze them until you get every drop of juice out. Pour them into pretty cups and garnish with orange slices, mint leaves or anything else edible you have lying around.

If you have juice left over, make popsicles! I always put frozen fruit in the bottom of my popsicle molds before I pour in the juice. In this episode I used raspberries, but you can use just about anything. Except peas. One time my mom gave us popsicles with peas and it was so gross. Freeze them for at least three hours or over-night. It's really hard to wait for them to get solid, especially when you know how yummy they'll be. Enjoy!

Retta rules! Knife skills very impressive for 4 year old and the Cliff cameo was hilarious. Does that kid put EVERYTHING in his mouth?

As soon as Cliff grabbed those two oranges we started cheering him on to take a bite. It looked on the video that he actually bit first to get the skin off so that he could suck the juice all out. Is there method to his madness or is it just pure food frenzy?
