Made it!

Finally, I got it made!  Boy, was it hanging over me after I posted about buying seville oranges here on the blog.  I had to go through with it!

It looks and tastes glorious.  However, its lack of structural integrity shows that a friend came round & I lost focus.  On the plus side, it means the kids can't over-jam their toast without it running up their pyjama sleeves.  My cunning plan all along, honest, nothing to do with my domestic incompetence.

Lou, Lou, look what you made me do!

I have come to the conclusion that Blogland is a place not without its risks.  I read this post on Lou of Little Green Shed's post about making marmalade.  Now, making Marmalade was one of those things.  You know.  Someday.  But in the meantime, something that Other People did.  And I might buy it if they chose to sell it.  However, it looks like Someday has arrived.  Today at the Greengrocers, flaunting themselves at the entrance...

I felt like a teenager buying alcohol.  Like I didn't have a clue but trying to look nonchalant.  I clearly didn't fool the purveyor of these orange floozies, so I had to confess I didn't know how much to buy or really what I was going to do with them.  I have opted for a cool kilo, and now need to scramble my brain to the rescue.  Making marmalade?  Me?  Oh yes.  Time to get busy.  And find a recipe. And jars.  Oh my.  Dangerous place Blogland.  How long do seville oranges keep?!
