Cloves and Clementines


One of my favorite Christmas memories is when my Dad would put cloves in clementines.  I remember him going a little crazy with them and by the time he was finished, the clementine was absolutely covered to the point that you saw no orange. 

Marcia and I walked to Whole Foods on Saturday for a few things and picked some oranges that had pretty, green leaves still attached.  Our apartment is officially in the the Christmas Spirit (post to come soon) and the cloves and clementine smell now filling the apartment only adds to the Holiday mood in our little abode.

I had the best little Thanksgiving break...but now it is back to the daily grind in the morning. boo. Good thing it is officially the Holidays to get me through the next few weeks!
