An insufferable middle-class tosspot whining about his perfect life

[hirez]

My hands (and by extension the HAR2009 wristband which, although made of entire unnatural fibres, does soak up some stuff) now pong of Seville oranges.

I have no idea if I'm going to end up with marmalade or a mess and some explosions tomorrow, but it's a net win either way. I have boshed something together from the ancestral Barrett recipe and the Nigel Slater version and it will be fine.

I also have to admit that hacking up yea-many oranges was much harder work than reverse-engineering the output of a mail archiver box. I am jolly tired now.

I don't know where I'm going with this. Cheery land of idiot grin, I think.

After Sunday dinner of duck a l'orange, we have two spare Seville oranges. I'm thinking an orangey take on a margherita would be a fine idea.

On the few occasions that I could be bothered to make marmalade, it was excellent. So I expect your marmalade will be very fine.

So, your plan is jam today *and* jam tomorrow ?

Oh very good.

Although, large pan of hacked up oranges soaking in water today, marmalade or swearing tomorrow would likely be closer to the truth.

Fire up the bread maker and put it on your own homemade bread--what could possibly go wrong?!

Yep. Very nice indeed.
