Clementine Marmalade

Future marmalade

From the “When You Give a Mouse a Cookie” school of reasoning. . .

I need black ink to print in color. It’s a quirk that I’m not crazy about, but otherwise I just love my printer.

I have a LOT of work to do, and I need my printer to print in color. Here it is 8:30PM and I have to run to the store in the next town because there isn’t a place in our little burg that carries the ink that I need. Otherwise, I just love my printer, honest.

But, I need to prepare the clementines so I can make marmalade tomorrow, because the cooking process begins the night before, so I need to wash them.

sooo… I need to empty the dishwasher, so I can reload it, so I can have an empty sink in which to wash clementines, so I can get the cooking process started before I run to the store to buy the black ink so my printer will print in color and I can get on with my work.

Are you following me?

Maybe I have become a bit bonkers, but I decided in the midst of this, that my dishes look kind of pretty in the dishwasher. Don't you think?

Now what I am trying to decide is. . .
Is somebody trying to make a fool out of me, or am I doing a fine job of that all by myself?

The recipe’s first instruction: “Scrub the clementines”.

The funny thing is. . . I don’t even like marmalade. But the thought of making it myself gives me some reason to believe that it will be different this time.

My son tells me that one definition of insanity is attempting the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome.

Maybe I have become a bit bonkers.

. Can't vouch for it yet, but will try to get a marmalade lover to help with that! Oh, and one more thing, it was Alison's idea in the first place.
