Year of Making Stuff: Week 15

Filed in Year of Making Stuff, food

So the Year of Making Stuff isn’t limited to crafts and such, it can also be food.  Didn’t you know,  I also make the rules.  So, today I laboriously made candied citrus peel.   The result?  A great big sweetly sarcastic Thanks-A-Lot to Martha Stewart.  The recipe (which  won’t even bother to link to.  You know how to use google) called for grapefruits, oranges OR lemons.  No mention of limes, but she DOESN’T say to NOT use limes.  So I used limes with my grapefruit, and I can tell you that LIMES ARE BAD for this particular endeavor.  Too bitter.  And because I cooked them with the sweet sweetness of the grapefruit, I think the whole batch is a wee bit too bitter to really enjoy.  They look pretty though, right?

I also got a new tattoo yesterday and am now off to plant some baby spinach before the rains come tonight!
