you can't compare apples to oranges. unless you're comparing them.

it's muffin tin monday. today's theme is "color series - orange".

this is the thing. i live in florida. the state fruit is orange. the state flower is orange blossom. the state beverage is orange juice. and the state pie is key lime. apparently, there's a national rule about having more than three state items that coincide. i just made that up. i thought it was funny. but now i'm thinking it's not. too bad. it's late and i don't have time to re-write this whole post.

we've got vanilla yogurt in an orange cup. with two types of orange sprinkles. and an orange spoon. and cheez-its. and orange peanut butter m&ms.

i really wish "orange" rhymed with something. <--- that's me thinking out loud. and this is me linking muffin tin mom. word.

oranges are the fruit of the Gods. And a symbol for women that have decent sized breasts. Not too shabby.

Hey, I live in FL too! I have had the argument quite a few times that strange rhymes with orange. I think it does but nobody else agrees. Ah well. Great tin!

JDaniel4's Mom said...

I like the orange cup and spoon. We have CD by Ross King called Words That Rhyme With Orange CD. It has several words that rhyme with orange.

JDaniel4's Mom said...

Aren't you glad rhymes with orange!

Mirjam said...

Yum! Great ideas.

Kayli said...

I like it, looks good. Asthetically appealing! yummy too.

sunnymum said...

Looks tasty! Wish I had some of the orange m&ms here!

Wonder Mom said...

Yeah, well, who says that rhymes have to be "real" words- look at Dr. Seuss- a man made rich off of imaginary words...

Ashley Nguyen Newell said...

I love oranges. Almost as much as I love you.

lauren said...

i second Wonder Mom's comment. smorange totally rhymes with orange.
and the oj comment on my page was for my hubby. who apparently listens to less than half of the stuff i say.

~LKB said...

Love your little heart shaped pans! I think I was the only mom who didn't use actual oranges on orange day! LOL Cute meals!

Michelle, Muffin Tin Mom said...

i agree with Wonder Mom, channel Dr. Suess. It is his b-day on the 2nd or is it the 3rd?

Rita/Fighting Off Frumpy said...

Wow, I didn't even know states had an official pie! Here in Iowa, I'm guessing it's "cow pie." ;)

The muffin tin looks like something my kids might actually eat! Well, not the tin itself, but you know ...

Emma Hughes said...

Sherry said...

LOL love what you wrote. I live in Florida as well. And I love oranges, too bad they are going out of season!

Jill of Ark said...

Glad to have found you on SITS--your thinking-out-loud style made me giggle. I'm not from Florida, but I AM from the home of the "Orange" in Syracuse, NY. Cute post!

K said...

Best orange ice cream I ever had was on a trip to Florida when I was 13 mmmm so good!
Stopping in from SITS :)

Sandy said...

Orange is good! Great tin!

varunner said...

I now wish I lived in Florida. Actually, I've been wishing that since our first big snow back in December. Winter be gone!

If you'd like, I can stop by daily to leave you random chicken trivia so you can win all your wild party games ;-)

Orange, being my favorite color, is a wonderful theme for any day!
But it is hard to find healthy AND appealing foods that taste different. Cheese and citrus... pretty much the range of flavors you get with orange food.
Good thing they are yummy- as opposed to asparagus or liver... green and red foods I NEVER eat!
Stopped by from SITS and enjoyed the visit immensely!

orange shmorange, see that rhymes

love this blog!

Cheryl said...

Visiting from SITS. Orange is a great color (especially if you're a FL Gator!) ;)

Emily said...

Mmmm...oranges...I don't think you could possibly have too many state-related orange products. Yum!

MeCassieMarie said...

Oranges are amazing!

Well you could use two words, like door hinge. (I completely stole that from a television show.)

This post was really awesome, so random, I love it!

Stopping by from SITS!

orange is my favorite. no, you're my favorite. ermmmm, it's a toss-up.

Yankee Girl said...

I am a fruit snob and only eat oranges from Florida. I live in Chicago. I spend A LOT of money every year having oranges shipped to me from a grove near Sarasota. It is worth it though.

Jenny Bunny said...

ooh, delicious!

Acting Balanced Mom said...

stopping by from SITS - glad your orange day worked out well!

Teddy Started It said...

Manges oranges - rhymes in French just fine.

As for the color orange...well, I've been told I have orange hair, and that orange is a really good color on me, and when I wear orange, well, I just look a little like a pumpkin...or a sweet potato...or a basketball. So how would you feel about orange if you were me? And my hair is SO not orange. But I like yogurt, sprinkles, cheezits and orange M&Ms, so pass me a muffin tin please.

(Oh, and glad you liked your award. I knew you'd do the right thing with it.)

Will you be my mommy?

I love your blog. I love oranges. I'm glad I found someone that loves stalkers as much as I do!
Over from SIS and I'll be back!
