When I wasn't sipping sambuca with Russian Oligarchs; whilst selling secrets to the Armenians and running a sweatshop in Bangalore I accomplished a few things today.

I scrubbed the tub in my bathroom all clean. I did several loads of laundry and a load of dishes. I also canned a bunch of blood orange marmalade. It is a deep ruby color and it has a nice tart flavor. It might not be for everyone as it is a trifle esoteric as jam/jellies go. But I am sure it will be appreciated somewhere.
I have a month or two before I have to think about doing fun things with berries. I am going to end up with so much jam it will be awesome.
I think I may also want to do a few other things this year if I figure out the timing/organization.

Tomorrow it will be bossa nova with ex MI-5 agents in hiding and making something nice to have for dessert this week.

Is it sad to say that scrubbing my tub sounds like fun? It does. A nice clean bathtub is satisfying like a well stocked pantry. The marmalade sounds good, hint, wink. You know I run a charity fund? For marmalade-deprived girls named me.

A clean bathtub is inspiring. Plus I have some sake soak I want to use. So I want things extra clean and what not.
Maybe if you are good and play nice with others and don't run with scissors you might get jam. Or something.

Fresh brand, I presume? I want that. It's what, $80? Something crazy.

Yes.
I bought a small packet. 12 bucks.

Seriously, I bow to your shopping skills.

Why don't we just buy some sake and dump it in the tub? I ask you. There must be something to be said for proper dilution or something.

I hear sake factory workers have oddly smooth hands.
