Oh Grapefruit, How I Love Thee...(a love letter)
Dear grapefruit,
I love the way you give me a kick-start every morning with your sour yet oh-so-sweet flavor. The mere thought of you makes my mouth water.
If it weren't for you, grapefruit, I would not have the proper energy to get myself through the day. My daily dose of vitamin C would be slim to none if you were not a part of my life.
Because of you, I start every day with a smile on my face. To imagine myself start my day with another fruit makes me tremble..oh grapefruit, if you ever left my side what would I do?!
But alas, you are not only a delectable choice of fruit, you are a loyal one, too. I know I can depend on you to always be there for me, and I only hope that you realize I will always be there for you, too.
Grapefruit, for as long as I live I hope you remain a part of my life.
With all my love,
Ali
If you could write a love letter to any food, which would it be and why?

hmm... my fruit love affair is kiwi. it's an excellent source of vitamin C (more than oranges), contains as much potassium as bananas, good source of fiber, rich in flavenoids and phytonutrients, and lots of other good stuff. plus, it tastes great. :]
Grapefruit is awesome! My aunt lives in Arizona (where I was born) and she has a ton of grapefruit trees in her backyard. Visiting her was a dream come true because I was able to eat it every morning :)
I already wrote my love letter to Frank's Red Hot on here. It only seemed fair; I eat it on something at least once a day.
I love grapefruit!!!!
@ginakuzmick@xanga - ahhh that sounds sooo good D:
Grapefruit is sweet? Maybe I really am allergic to it, I know I am to oranges.
@Beb3Lika@xanga - unfortunately I'm allergic to kiwi =[ my mouth burns up and swells. it's a shame too..kiwi is amazing!
@ginakuzmick@xanga - me too!!! on my eggs every morning and in every grilled cheese I make haha glad I'm not the only one
@genkii_to_ureshii_risu@xanga - some are sour, some are sweet. depends on the type you get..but typically they're pretty sweet!
I love grapefruit! I don't which fruit I'd write a love letter to. I love all fruits! :D
Dear Pizza,
You're friggin crazy! You are never the same twice; I'm pretty sure you suffer from multiple personality disorder, but each personality is as delectable as the last! Meat, vegetable, cheese, even fruit or chocolate, you do not go wrong ever. You're so delicious from your naked, exposed toppings, to your crust-sometimes stiff and crunchy, and sometimes a gooey mess. You are so unpredictable, but every single time we meet, you reach far past any expectations I could dream. I don't know how you do it, pizza. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
me
@purplenurple_orangezorange@xanga - Yea! Good one
Run out of money and then we'll see if grapefruit sticks around.
Mangos from Taiwan :)
It would have to be chocolate. It's a hate love relationship.
i buy grapefruit juice from trader joe's, it's 100% juice so no added sugar:) i down about a gallon of it per week i love it so much!!! but hey, it's healthy right
Dear Raspberry,
You have a sweet flavor like no other, and I savor out time together- whether you are straight out of the plastic package or topping a mound of ice cream, you are delicious any way at all.
You fickle minx, you turn fuzzy so quickly, but the precious few days that you last are heavenly.
I love your texture, your color, your vitamin content... and like any true lover, you are hard on my wallet.
And I keep coming back for more, because I am wrapped around your little... berry.
Until directly after my shopping trip,
I am yours,
Jennifer Bean
I love them with just a pinch of salt yummmmmy
@MrsJenBean@xanga - "You fickle minx, you turn fuzzy so quickly, but the precious few days that you last are heavenly."
hahaha I love this line..so true!
I Loathe Grapefruit lol. It taste really bitter.
Dear Chinese food,
I love you I general. Wantons, egg rolls, shrimp fried rice. Oh how your Lo Mein makes me insane, sushi on my plate gives me a warm feeling. I hope to see you soon.
I suck at writing lol
You remind me of my father. XD My dad starts everyday without grapefruit. He says "A day without grapefruit is a day without sunshine."
Every once in a while, I crave grapefruit. And I am right now.
Aww. :) I did not like grapefruit when I was younger, and thought that maybe it would be okay now that I was older and a lot of my tastes have changed. I tried it again recently and it was so hard to get one bite down. :( Soo bitterly sour... I wish I could like it though because it looks and smells so fresh.
If I could choose a fruit - probably watermelon. Food in general is too difficult to choose from. (Although my favorite food is probably salmon.)
Watermelon, my delicious summer love
You're so expensive, but nothing compares to that beautiful red (or should I say pink) ice inside,
The sweetness you possess, that juice that flows out with one bite.
As fresh as any spring morning, you make me happy and revived.
I could not live without you.
Love, me. :)
beets...I love you roasted and raw, as chips or as soup, pickled or in salads...your earthy, sweet, savory flavor just makes me swoon.
