My dad used to eat grapefruit. He would go through some ritual of
separating the segments using a grapefruit knife before sprinkling on
some sugar. I tried it and found the ritual relaxing and the taste
delicious. I was getting into the fruit until I found out that
grapefruit was incompatible with my diabetes medication. My foray into
grapefruit heaven lasted a couple of months. Even now, I dream of
grapefruit every now and then.
