Florida -The Liquid Gold Sunshine State
Florida -The Liquid Gold Sunshine State
by Jeanie Blanton
By now, you know that I am a Happy Florida Cracker--a 7th generation Floridian, and loving it. I want to talk to you about Florida's own Liquid Gold that I love and couldn't live without.
The first Florida Liquid Gold that I want talk about is ORANGE JUICE. Florida oranges and orange juice are the best in world, and they are so good for you. There is nothing like sitting under a nice large oak tree, and eating your fresh picked orange from your very own citrus trees. My dad taught me a good trick to getting the orange juice out of my orange that is very quick and easy. Take a knife out with you if you are going to be eating your orange under that big old shade tree, and pick your fresh orange right off the tree. Now sit down in your favorite chair and take your knife and peel away the orange skin. You aren't going to peel the whole orange. You are going to start at the top of the orange that has the large indent in it, and peel only a few rounds of the top skin, and then take the sharp point of the knife and insert it about 1/2 inch away from the top. Insert the knife about 1 inch into the orange and gently cut until you have cut out a small triangle in the top of the orange. Gently slope your knife so that your have cut this triangle free and pull it out. Now take you knife and make up and down cuts into the exposed fruit, just to get the juice up and freely running. Now here's the fun part, start squeezing and sucking the juice all at once. Keep that liquid gold coming into your mouth until you have squeezed all the juice out of the orange. Yummy! It is so good I usually do another orange when I get done with the first one.
Orange juice is so good for you. One 8 oz cup has:

The second Florida Liquid Gold that I love is the wonderful Florida Sunshine. You cannot put a price on this wonderful LIQUID GOLD. I bask in it every chance I get. There are very view days in the year that the sun doesn't shine in SUNSHINE FLORIDA. Do you know how good the sunshine is for you? It is the pure Vitamin D that we need everyday. I call my daily routine of basking in the sun and drinking my orange juice my D & C for the Day. How great is that. Vitamin D is the bone building Vitamin. Make sure you get some sunshine everyday or supplement if you can't get out in the sun. It's a good thing.
