Es ist vollbracht!

Sorry for the German title, but for my ears it just sounds more profound than the English "it's done".

Speaking of my unauthentic orange marmalade, of course. Beware the cute little jars:



I wonder how long my account allows me to add pictures. *sigh*

In any case, I did the labelling today, which took long, as I had to cut out the labels by hand, every twelve of them. And they're as small as my thumbprint. Gah!
Then I had kitchen duty: making apple compote, cubing and roasting the dry rolls, so that they'd be serve as soup garnish, then chopping the salad into microscopic pieces so that Mum can eat it, and finally processing the pink grapefruits for tomorrow, when they'll - hopefully - be turned into jam. That last part was brutal, peeling off the white skin between segments and all that; I must have a scratch on one finger because the citrus juice burned it like fire!

The salad didn't get eaten today, after all. When the physiotherapist lady left, we had coffee with the banana bread I had baked yesterday, and we're still full up with it. Ah, well, salad will serve well tomorrow.

As for social life, I had long, enjoyable phone chats with my friends Elise and Ilonka - both ex-colleagues who are also retired. So, it was a good day, even though I'm dead on my feet right now.

Grapefruit -> marmalade! 😁

Your little jars look cute.

If you hadn't mentioned how small the labels are I'd have thought the jars were normal size. Eek, they're tiny!

Not according to the British! *g*

That they are! These are the smallest ones, the rest is marginally — or considerably — larger, but even the largest one only about 150 ml or so. When I make jam for our own use, then I take normal size jars, of course, but these are for the fair.

For sure it is ... it's a citrus fruit.

Yet, but they insist that only orange can be made into marmalade, and only if it's processed in a certain way. I'm not arguing with you, just repeating what I was told. *g*

Yay!

Very tiny jars, indeed! One jar for one palatschinke...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That is the idea, yes. :)
