Orange Slices

Eat an orange, but cut it up first.

Ingredients

1 orange, navel oranges are great

Method

Wash and rinse your oranges. Zest them and save the zest for something else if you want, it'll keep pretty well in a small container in the fridge.
Imagine the orange is a globe, and the spot where the stem was is the north pole. Slice the orange in half by cutting through the line from the north pole to the south pole.
Cut each half of the orange into quarters using this same kind of slice. You'll end up with orange segments with peel on them.
Carefully slice the peel off each orange segment. Experiment with techniques very slowly until you find something that feels very safe, and maybe a little efficient too.
You can slice the oranges even smaller if you want. You can even try thinly slicing each slice cross-wise, giving you beautiful little tasty thin wafers of orange. This sounds stupid but it's actually delicious, surface area is a big part of how we taste.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Sometimes oranges are sweet, sometimes you'll get a bitter one. The orange's job is not to love you. Your job is to love the orange.
If you ever find yourself disappointed with the simplicity of this recipe, consider the millions of years of human existence and thousands years of cultivation of citrus fruits, and look at that mind-boggling timeline as one massively complicated recipe for the orange in your hand. There is no need to waste your time with any recipe more complex than that. Your job is to love the orange.
