I was in the habit, a few years ago, of "zesting" oranges before we ate the insides, and then keeping the "zest" in a jar in the freezer for marmalade when I had enough accumulated. Haven't done that in awhile, Hubs doesn't like orange marmalade. I think you have to expect that it will have a strong orangey taste from the zest. Some people love it, some don't. It got to 35 here last night, but there are no frost warnings in the forecast.

I've always thought it kinda bitter, too. 'Course, I think you could spread 'bout anything on one of those homemade English muffins of yours and I'd eat it!<br /><br />We have a warning of possible s-n-o-w tonight (eeep!). 35 degrees now at almost 7:30 p.m. I think fall may be over for us.

She was wrong. Not bitter and we both enjoyed it. I must quit reading English novels and period pieces. I was researching what they meant by a cup of chocolate for breakfast (not quite like ours) and tea cakes; then the English muffin with marmalade and the coffee thing. All from reading....my latest: I ordered ground chicory to make my own New Orleans coffee. I have no control when it comes to foods....gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-24963389939932218542015-10-25T09:22:46.231-05:002015-10-25T09:22:46.231-05:00Gosh those English muffins look beautiful.

I always think that new blacktop makes the Fall leaves look so much nicer. It was a brilliant day and the colors were great. "Not get above 70?" LOL Temps falling into November here. More freezing nights ahead. My trees are all turned now and yesterdays rain (1/2") really knocked down a lot. Ah well..... Enjoy a muffin for me.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-8837676066336192932015-10-25T08:00:45.480-05:002015-10-25T08:00:45.480-05:00That Laura Bush, you never know where she'll t...That Laura Bush, you never know where she'll turn up but it's always a joy to see.<br /><br />I cannot imagine how tasty a homemade English muffin must be. I remember the first time I ever heard of Orange Marmalade. One of my half brothers married a Florida girl and she introduced us to the idea.<br /><br />There is a 'patch' on the way to my neighbor Willine's house where a man separated out the Mama cows in his herd with baby calves. It's a sight to see, 10 little black calves in a bunch, playing under Mooma supervision. He-Who and I discussed how much we loved little calves but there were too many down sides to the rest of it..Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.com
