The marmalade takes time and ingredients.<BR/><BR/>yes, bushbabe, if you didn't recognise the nastursiums lobbed I wouldn't claim you! It was smooth - in the front - I am sure the shivering from anticipated shock counteracted the shock absorbers working overtime!!! Actually, it was only put there for dramatic effecgt and I really thought we were on the highway.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-80123286357639676252008-08-09T09:33:00.000+10:002008-08-09T09:33:00.000+10:00A bountiful crop indeed!

I remember making strawberry and raspberry jam with my grandmother. Making grapefruit marmalade (even if it sounds a bit inedible -- I've been wrong before and will be happy to be this time) sounds like a blast.Foilwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439472253349139358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-56758405026861080192008-08-08T08:22:00.000+10:002008-08-08T08:22:00.000+10:00Deb - see, the problem is she was the one with the...Deb - see, the problem is she was the one with the mind on the photos and not on the driving and I was the one with the mind on self-preservation...<BR/><BR/>Girding myself for part two myself...
