Marmalade

It caused Ben (9) to declare Kitchen Day the "Best Day of the Week" and to question, "Who needs dessert when we have fresh marmalade?"

Ethan stated, "I'm still not a fan of orange rind."

And D.H. Lawrence said, "I got the blues thinking of the future, so I left off and made some marmalade. It's amazing how it cheers one up to shred oranges and scrub the floor."

And, indeed, it is cheerful. And also, a fact I did not know, shredding oranges does necessitate scrubbing the floor.
