There is an old children’s game in which an orange peel is used to find the first initial of your true love. The idea is to remove the peel of the orange — or clementine, or tangerine, or satsuma, all work equally well, though some are easier to undress than others — in one continuous piece, and to throw it over your shoulder, behind you. Supposedly, the shape formed by the peel on the floor indicates the first initial of your future spouse. I misunderstood this game and married an orange. It was the best mistake I ever made.
