Seville oranges
well washed
still glistening with water drops
Cooked until tender
Fragrant citrus smells in the kitchen
Cut to reveal their gorgeousness
Taking time
to admire texture and patterns
Remove the pulp and pips
cut the soft rind into chunky pieces
Ladle the cooked marmalade into jars
My favourite breakfast
on my favourite plate.
The simplest things in life take on a whole new meaning
when we do them with awareness.
Hmmmm....that looks very good / delicous.

These are lovely. Love the colour and the patterns on the cooked oranges are just beautiful. Beautiful contrasting colours with the blue too. Thank you for the colourful cheer on a grey feb day. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, looks delicious!! I feel the same way about taking the time to make loose leaf tea and using handleless tea cups...

Look at that cute Maybelle flower!!! I think I know the yarn. That is a beautiful ice turquoise. I warned you, didn't I. Highly addictive. Your orange marmalade looks yum too... Now I feel like having toast with marmalade for breakfast. Can't remember when I had that last time... 10 years ago? Cute plate too, PiP's Design?

Beautiful post and images! REALLY BEAUTIFUL!! The extra props you used...the pink knife, blue plate, red gingham, the table covering and napkin ring that's matches your plate...make these shots so extra special!! Each one is so carefully and beautifully composed!
ReplyDeleteI've never made jam or marmalade before - way too intimidating and out of my pay scale :) Your photos are beautiful and quite inspiring. Such a wonderful thing to do on a cold winter's day :) XOL
ReplyDeleteMarmolada pewno pyszna, ale i zdjęcia bardzo ładne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteMarmalade certainly delicious, but very nice photos. Yours.

Thank you very much for your visits and nice comments.
Oh Sandra what lovely pictures - so crisp and sharp. Your marmalade looks so tasty too. I made marmalade a few months ago but used a can of seville oranges, it was really tasty too. You just can't beat the tang of the orange on a piece of toast for breakfast. :))
ReplyDeleteMmmm wonderful Sandra, Looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Sandra, how beautiful and delicious! You're so right; nothing is commonplace when we give it our attention.
ReplyDeleteOh my what wonderful colours and even better the marmalade looks
ReplyDeletejust scrummy.
