At the end of each day I try to think of what I have accomplished. Usually I would have done something that makes me feel that my day was not wasted. If for some reason I end up with nothing, I would try and do something small and still feel good about my day. This is one of those days. I was watching TV and looked at the time and realized I have not done anything that counts. Since Jeff just got back from his mom's place and brought some fresh oranges and lemons from her tree, I considered doing something with it. A few days ago while watching the Barefoot Contessa make this orange marmalade. I immediately looked up the recipe and sure enough I was making the exact same recipe. There was a lot of boiling, simmering and waiting. But finally it was ready and I did the taste test. OMG it takes like a marmalade. The recipe resulted in 8 small mason jars and it looks really good. So far I have given four to my friends and maybe two more to other friends and keep two. This was a good day.
