This holiday time of year can be hard, especially for those away from home who have no pumpkin pie prospects. If you’re not sure if you’ll be breaking bread with friends on Thanksgiving but you’d surely like to be invited somewhere swell to talk turkey, then try this ages old piece of advice. Take one orange and one lemon and stud them all over with whole cloves. According to ancient lore, the orange now represents all the others around you (the potential invite) and the lemon symbolizes you (the happy and stuffed invitee.) Leave that citrus sitting on any windowsill for three to nine days and then expect the dinner of your dreams. With all this sweet and sour going on, I can almost guarantee that you won’t be eating Chinese take-out while watching the Turkey Day parade! Keep your eyes peeled because once you put these fruits to work for you, the invites immediately follows!
