A Dollop of Sunshine in a Day Full of Blizzard

Here in the Frozen Northeast Ohio we do not grow oranges.

That means that oranges are expensive. And if you buy them you want them to taste all good and yummy. Not sour and unpleasant. So I was mighty upset when the oranges that I purchased several weeks ago where not, shall we say, all that tasty. HHBL was unimpressed.

Well darn it! Now I have 8 oranges that are going to sit in the refrigerator until they finally go rotten and have to be fished out, all dripping and slimy, and thrown in the compost pile.

Not so fast young Padwan. There is something that you can do with oranges.

You can make Orange Marmalade.

Oh just the thought brings joy and sunshine.

Lets see how we do this shall we? I will tell you right off the bat that I used Alton Brown’s Orange Marmalade recipe. No need to reinvent the wheel on this.

Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:31:17 +0100

Eight years divorced and I’m still sending my ex Valentine’s Day Cards.

I have always loved the greeting card aisle … I love looking at the designs, which have gotten so sophisticated, indie-artsy, and much more embellished over the years. (I do like to send a little glitter an

d bling now and then!)

I like reading the sentiments inside, deciding if that’s how I would say it, or tossing it aside as too mush

y or not clever enough or just plain boring. In fact, back when I was in college, I wanted to be a greeting card writer for Hallmark. I even wrote the company and sent some samples. (Big surprise, I never heard back.)
