I spied a large, slightly bumpy, orange citrus with a knob like a tangerine at the local Japanese market today (Nijiya). The clerk told me that it had been written up in the Los Angeles Times. They were going for $2.99 a piece. I did not take the plunge as I am dealing with massive amounts of various citrus on my trees. Has anyone tried them? Here is the article.

THOSE BASTARDS!! :laugh: I went to Nijiya (Van Ness & 182nd) the day after the article appeared, and paid $1.70/ea! Gots to gouge while the gouging is good, I suppose...

Anyway, yes they're very good, but not $3/ea good. Like a very sweet and perfect orange at the height of ripeness. I'll buy 'em again but, like you, I've got too much citrus in the backyard right now to be paying for fruit :laugh:

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
