Inspiration

We were waiting for a collection this morning, for our pool robot. It has to go back to the company we bought it from to repair one of its rollers. However we didn’t know when they were coming, and I wanted to get to the market. I was literally walking out the door, when I called to Brian, “They’re here”. What great timing, as it meant we could go to the market together, a little visit we enjoy having on a Friday morning.

I was hoping I could buy some Seville oranges, to make some marmalade. After a good search around all the stalls, which had lots of different oranges, I could only find Navels, which I know can make a good alternative to Sevilles for making marmalade. I bought around 2kg, quite a lot, but during the summer our B&B guests enjoy eating my homemade marmalade on fresh baguette for breakfast.

The fresh produce on the stalls, looked very tasty, and enticing. I get very inspired to try different dishes when I see the beautiful (often organic), locally grown ingredients.

I will have a peruse through some of my cookbooks to decide what to cook, but first though I need to make the marmalade.
