It was a struggle but my final competition marmalade is complete! Off to the post office tomorrow! This one is “Lemon and Meyer Lemon Marmalade with Local Honey and Foraged Elderflower”. So happy with how perfumed and floral it is 💛🍋💛

I’m loving how different each of my marmalades are this year!

Third competition marmalade is done! A classic Seville Orange Marmalade that looks like bottled sunshine 🌞 🍊🫙🧡 I might add an experimental one this weekend. We will see! Either way I am extremely happy with my three main entries! Off to the post office! 📦🫙🍊✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✏️

Clean air should be a right. Just like clean water. We have to fight for better air quality indoors through filtration& ventilation, & outdoors by addressing the climate crisis. Studies in Scandinavian daycares showed a 30% reduction in all respiratory illnesses with HEPA filtration. It’s win-win!
Clean indoor air through improved filtration and ventilation is the only viable way forward.

Flu, covid, RSV, pollen, wildfire smoke – we must take a systemic approach to these health threats

The best time to eat a peach when it is perfectly ripe, juicy and fragrant, at the height of summer. The next best time to eat a peach is on a cold & snowy winter’s day. Here in the snow, that beautiful peach full of sunshine is suspended in a raspberry syrup. The winter peach is magnificent.

I worked through the first Trump administration as a government scientist. He was unpracticed then & still caused chaos internally. Now there’s a game plan & the system is weakened. To my fellow government workers, please look after yourselves. Protect yourselves. Even if you think you’re “safe”.
ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/
READ THIS.

THEN READ IT AGAIN.

As an Australian in Canada I don’t think I’ll ever not be mesmerized by freshly fallen snow ❄️

Finishing off my competition marmalades for the Dalemain World Marmalade Awards this week. Still finalizing categories but I’m super happy with how this Australian Blood Orange and rose marmalade turned out!
