ME: So I think I'm going to try making chocolate covered orange peels for Christmas.HIM: *blink. blink. blink*
Orange peels?
ME: Yeah. Orange peels. They're candied ... you know, like marmalade?
You blanch the orange peels and then simmer them in a simple syrup for an hour. Then you let them dry and dip them in melted chocolate.
HIM: *blink. blink. blink*
Orange peels?
ME: OK, just think of it as half healthy.
HIM: No hon, it's half compost.
ME: Oh well, more for me then.

my mom makes candied orange peel... i have to agree with your husband... half compost. i suck off the sugar and toss the orange...
Brilliant idea. I may have to do this.
Our big Christmas thing is to stick cloves into oranges and leave them around the room. The scent is unbelieavable.
Were they delicious? Mine were (are!)!
They were/are. Even mr. compost liked them. Next I will try and make them look appetizing.
