Take Your Child to Work Day-- a day of overstimulation

Today was Take Your Child to Work Day at Hubby's place of work, but because Itty Bitty is still itty bitty, I was asked to tag along (it effectively also became "Take Your Wife to Work (to make her work some more) Day"). There were a lot of stimulating activities for the kids to do--singalongs, crafts, face painting, balloon objects (it's not just animals anymore, although Itty Bitty got a balloon pony--Bubby got a bow and arrow, and I saw a girl with a flower corsage and another boy requesting a katana), and a bubble show. Normally the food in the cafeteria is wonderful (I've only been there three times for lunch now, which admittedly, is not really enough to tell, but according to Hubby, who eats there every workday, it is pretty wonderful), but today, because of the kids, they dumbed down the menu.

There were bratwursts with hot dog buns, chicken tenders and fish sticks. And actually, by the time we got to the cafeteria (because we'd been waiting in lines for the face painting and balloon objects), all of the food was cold. It was disastrous--Itty Bitty would not eat the food, and I did but didn't want to. They had lunch boxes for the kids to take home, filled with local, and I presume, organic, fruit. Some of them looked kind of like oranges, but not exactly.

A few months ago I read an article about a new citrus fruit coming out that was supposed to be amazingly sweet and tasty and easy to peel. So I got quite excited, because I thought this was that. But apparently, it is not.

This is what we got:

 Which to me, looked like the Dekopon. But there was a little sticker on one of them, and apparently, it's an Ojai Pixie, which is different.

It was not as easy to peel as a Cutie, and the flavor was not as tart (or strong, perhaps?) as a Cutie, but it was pretty sweet and mild. No word on the elusive Dekopon though, I still haven't seen it in the market.
