I keep opened bottles of maple syrup in the fridge, not out of the fridge!
Hate the white stuff. Annoying when it’s hard to remove. We get Cuties brand when we can, but there are others where the stringy stuff is a chore.
These sumo oranges are a delight to peel & fiddle

Here Sumo oranges are $3.99 each and a3lb bag of mandarins is $4.99.
We get them at Sam’s for just under $8 for 3lbs.
Some cookies are best eaten straight outta the freezer, I use a knife to peel oranges so there’s no pith( like you do when supreme-ing citrus)

Growing up, eating an orange after the dinner was thing (we were a Chinese immigrant family) but we would split one or two between all of us. I used to always volunteer to peel the oranges, because I had this obsession with getting every little bit of pith and stripping off all the white parts. This thing was like a beautiful naked orange when I was done. The problem is that it would take me like 30-45 mins! My parents eventually just started cutting them, and not letting me peel oranges for them (but I still did this when I ate them myself).

Does anyone else take great pleasure in stripping all the white stuff off of a slice of orange, or is it just me?

Yes.

Did you ever try to take things one step further and peel the segments, to ideally isolate the inner vesicles? This always seemed to me like the ultimate goal: A perfect, skinless, segment-shaped piece, barely held together, with no leaking juice (so supremes need not apply). Never got there, it always rips on me at some point. But I still give it a shot on occasion.

Yes, and learned at a young age that it’s a nigh impossible task. The sides you can manage, but the bottom seems glued on, and you end up with a pulpy juicy mess. I no longer do that with oranges, but I love pomelo and you should peel the segment skins off pomelos since they are tough and slightly bitter. It’s always the bottom part that is a bear to tear off without damaging the little juicy sacs.

That’s hilarious! Thankfully, nobody gets any of my orange, so I can take my sweet time.
Some day, ages and ages hence, when I have way too much time on my hands, I’m tackling this problem with tweezers and a loupe.
had to do hundreds of these for a posh riverside popup we did a few years back…

I store hard cheese, wrapped in plastic, in a plastic container in the fridge. I keep my flat grater in the box with the cheese. I figure that the unwashed grater is still safe, since it’s only got cheese on it and the cheese doesn’t spoil. I grate cheese several times a week, and don’t need to wash it each time.
