Another day snowed in and time for a change from mundane chores such as making beds, doing dishes etc.
Seville oranges are available this week and there was a time there when I thought I would not be able to pick them up at the store. Had called and asked the produce manager to save me some as I knew they would not last long.

I crept out yesterday, slipping and a sliding to the end of our street where most roads between there and the store were plowed. A temporary respite in the snowfall that has come down almost continuously for the past five days allowed me to return safely. About a metre has fallen they tell me - and it is to last all over the weekend. Check Bob's blog for pix.

So now I have the oranges but cannot find the recipé I used last year as, after basement reno, boxes of cookbooks et al were stored where???? Searched high and low until stopping to answer Skype calls from UK as well as Ottawa, got thrown off my resolve.

My fellow in marmalade, George, came over for a cuppa just before he set off to find his own oranges, and galvanised me to search anew but still could not locate my food folders.

And then began to search on line.
Well, I can't believe the number of different preparations offered for this old favourite, difficult to obtain here in Canada. Many were outdated, I thought, as so many had the long, slow process we used to do.

Turned to a couple of listed UK pages for help and found most also had long, complicated processes that didn't involve a food processor nor a pressure cooker, both of which I called into service last year.

Trouble with searching, I am inclined to get sidetracked as there are so many interesting pages to read. Now I must stop knitting a cover for my typewriter, as Lynda would say, and get to that marmalade.

Yes, it came to me in a flash, I had stashed the food folders closer to the kitchen but under some other dreck. Now if anyone wants my recipé, please wait until I finish this year's batch.

No, Roy, I will save for you only ONE jar this year. Try making your own!
