OXBLOG GETS A LITTLE FRUITY: I know it's a little late for holiday shopping, but isn't there always someone you've left off of your list? If that's the case, head straight over to the HoneyBell website, where you can ask the folks at Cushman's Farm to send the sweetest Florida oranges in existence to that special someone.

Now I know what you're thinking: Big deal, a bunch of fruit. Well, the first time someone sent me a package of HoneyBells, I thought the same thing. Then I ate one. And another. And another. And another.

Eating an orange will never be the same again once you've had a HoneyBell. Actually, HoneyBells are not oranges, but a cross between a Dancy Tangerine and a Duncan Grapefruit. But if you saw one, you'd probably say it's an orange.

Still, it isn't appearance that matters. It's the taste. Unfortunately, HoneyBells aren't something you can buy at your local store. They are a limited edition fruit available only in January and only from the folks at Cushman's.

Of course, that means that the price is a little higher than it would be for an orange, plus you have to pay shipping and handling. Even so, there are lots of nice packages to send for between $30 and $40. Most importantly, don't forget to send some to yourself, because you want to miss out on this culinary delight.
