Tangerine segments

A has discovered the joy of eating a tangerine slice by peeling it and eating one tiny segment at a time.



There is something special and fun about eating them that way. It tastes different somehow, and the skill involved in separating the little juice sacs without breaking them is always a fun challenge.

I don't have the patience for it any more, but I remember doing that as a child. I often still eat citrus fruits by peeling the segments and savoring small bites of the segments on my tongue.

It sure is an easy way to keep A entertained for a while . . . just give her a tangerine and let her sit there and pick it apart to her heart's content. :)
