The truth is, I haven’t cooked much this past week, for no good reason other than it’s too darn hot. That, and I’m lazy. So I present to you the snack for lazy people everywhere: clementines.
To prattle on and on about clementines is sort of nonsensical because you’ve probably eaten one. Everyone has. They are upiquitous in lunchboxes and around water coolers (in fact, there’s a speech Hugh Grant gives in a really terrible movie that spoofs American Idol–”we’re watched by housewifes, children, senior-citizens, pro-atheletes, celebrities, prison inmates, nuns…”–clementines are pretty much the American Idol (in its heyday at least) of the food world. And they are populist perfect: a great snacking size, easy to peel, and sweet to boot. Reportedly, they’re taking over the citrus market and sales of all other oranges, navels, valencias, tangerines, etc. are down all for these little cuties.
Good thing they come in big bags, right?
