Can't see the orange slices, but it is orange intensive...
No pectin..just what the pulp/pips made..it took a long time to bring it slowly to 222F
..then boiling water canning ..~8-10 mins.

Now I require lots of toast!

I have tried marmalade a few times but haven't acquired the taste.

We had uovo in raviolos.

I think when I get out of hospital, I'll be trying that. It sounds like a really interesting recipe even if it is coming to moulting season and the end of egg laying. I think a few eggs can be reserved for this.

A little cod with spuds, peas and parsley sauce. I should have gone for two pieces of cod.

And to prove that there was some cod under there.....

Boneless/skinless chicken breasts were on special, so I decided to throw something together. I made a pocket in the breasts and stuffed it with fresh sage, prosciutto and gruyere. I roasted the cloves from two heads of garlic and made a garlic, mushroom, sage and marsala cream sauce. I didn't use a recipe, so no challenge entry.

I love marmalade and Seville oranges make the very best. I haven't made it for ages but one fun twist is to add whisky...

My dad LOVED orange marmalade. I always thought of it as a particular thing to Ireland and England because they were the only folks with such devotion.
When I went on holiday to a place that had special marmalade, it was an easy gift to pick up for my dad, especially in his latter years (as in what do you give a 90 year old for a gift besides love and respect?)

I always thought of it as chunky orange jelly, sort of like you would have chunky peanut butter.

Talking about orange marmalade made me remember Pier 66 chicken wings, which use orange marmalade.

For dinner this evening my husband made mince and veg with a suet crust and proper gravy.

A copycat recipe I came up with for meatball tacos from Johnny Sanchez's in NOLA. The meatballs are ground beef with a puree of roasted poblano peppers, onions and garlic among other things. The sauce is roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic and Chipotle chiles in Adobo among other things. Pickled red onions, a crumbly Mexican cheese, chopped cilantro, and Chipotle mayo are the other condiments.

Khanom wan thai (banana cake and coconut in banana leaf cup). Too sweet for me.

Chicken marinating for tomorrow's kebabs.

Evening meal, Monday. Hospital food after I've added some cracked pepper to it.
There's a salad as well.

Apologies if the files are really big.

There's tofu, pumpkin and green bean curry with creamed potatoes, and the 'salad' which is basically 2 slices of cucumber, 2 pieces of carrot, 2 thin slices of celery, 2 small cherry tomatoes (actually very nice) and some mixed leaves though not many.
