orange

Cut off the top and bottom of an orange for stability. Place it on the bottom and it won't roll now. Peel the skin after cutting lines from top to bottom. Now gently peel off the remaining pith.

Are there any mistakes?
Thanks.

Hi,
The context is "Instructions for my wife on serving oranges the way I like". Most Western women would respond by saying 'Peel your own godddam orange!'

hehe A lot of people on the Forum spell it this way. It always looks like a snigger to me. For normal laughter, write ha-ha.
