I made a batch of lemon and lavender marmalade today, following
a recipe to the letter. It specified 50grams of lavender flowers
but that was waaaaay too much. Between 5 and 10 would have been
sufficient. The flavour is OK, if a bit strong from the lavender
but the main problem is all the lavender buds than one constantly
bites on.
So it looks like I'll have to discard all 3.75 litres and start again.

Can you dilute it and make something else from it?

I'll eat some of it but I have friends who raved about some I made

LOL It would have been close to a peck, but the peckage was mostly dill pickles and there were only a few hot peppers. It was enough pepper to
make it uncomfortable for her, but I loved them.
This leads me to wonder about the anti metric crowd. I wonder how many
of those here who prefer the Imperial system actually know it well
enough to know how much a peck is.

When I was in primary school, the inside back cover of
every excercise book was printed with the imperial
measures, like this
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/299982025154725677/
we learned the ones for weight, length, area by heart and
could chant them by rote, just like multiplication tables.
Mental arithmetic featured questions like
"Bob walked five furlongs to town, how many yards did he
travel?His speed was 3 miles per hour, how long did it
take? At the shop he bought six ounces of sugar. Sugar
costs 1s/10d per pound, how much change did he get from
half a crown."

I can't say that I have had a lot of lavender. The last time I remember having it was a creme brulee and honey topping. It was delicious, but
that was out in Whistler close to 40 years ago.

Does it remind you of lilac? That's one 'invasive'
species the way the smell invades the neighborhood
and mixes with the rotting over-wintered humus smell.
Both remind me of bathroom / laundry smell from soap &c.

One day I was channel surfing and stopped at a religious program when I spotted that slimey creep. He had recently been released from jail and
he introduced some young black guy he met in the bowels of the prison.
The guy had had a troubled life and had endured privation as a child and ended up in a life of crime. He ministered to the guy and helped him
find Jesus and salvation. Then he explained how he had come to
understand why God had put him through that ordeal. God had been

I don't wear much wool in hot weather, and having lost a few really nice garments to moths, I started doing what my Granny did, and storing
woolens with lavender.
It works.

a few bits of lavender in shortbread cookies is unique.

Yet it's a component of the classic herbs de Provence. Ah, well,
to each their own.
A little too much of any spice can destroy a dish. However, I like
nutmeg. I use it sprinkled on my spinach/feta quiche. Just don't go overboard.

Many, many years ago I invited b/f at that time over for dinner.
One of the vegetable dishes was broccoli and the recipe I used
called for a smidge of nutmeg in the dish. It was immediately
apparent in the first taste and it was a tiny bit; neither of
us cared for that flavoring in the dish. That dish has never
been repeated.
I LOVE nutmeg in sweets/baked goods, but I thought it was awful
in what I'd call a savory dish.

No! I've been eating it and it's not nearly up to par!You never know. Give them a taste.
I agree, let them taste it and ask them to be brutally honest. But if
you see them running to the trash can to spit it out, no need to ask,

Ouch. That is a shame. That can be a problem with had aromatics to
things. Sometimes the taste is too much. I have that problem when I use rosemary. I like a little but but it doesn't take much to overwhelm it.
Then there is thyme, which I have come to accept that I just don't care
for at all.

I might tie most of the lavender in muslin,( like I do
for the pips of Seville oranges), then discard later. Just
have a few buds visible in the jars. I buy muslin squares
from Lakeland.

Maybe it is because I had to study Chaucer or some sort of innate understanding of Gaelic from my distant Scottish ancestry, but I was

There are hundreds if languages in the world and billions of people who
are bilingual or multilingual. Not speaking one of those many languages
does not make one a monoglot. While my language skills are diminished
from lack of use I used to be able to communicate enough to have simple >conversations in French and German.

Ouch. That is a shame. That can be a problem with had aromatics to
things. Sometimes the taste is too much. I have that problem when I use rosemary. I like a little but but it doesn't take much to overwhelm it. Then there is thyme, which I have come to accept that I just don't care
for at all.

One day I was channel surfing and stopped at a religious program when
I spotted that slimey creep. He had recently been released from jail
and he introduced some young black guy he met in the bowels of the
prison. The guy had had a troubled life and had endured privation as a
child and ended up in a life of crime. He ministered to the guy and
helped him find Jesus and salvation. Then he explained how he had come
to understand why God had put him through that ordeal. God had been
instrumental in getting Jimmy into the depths of that prison to find
this guy and help him find Jesus. I almost puked at that.

I studied German in high school. I wish I'd taken Spanish.
Since I went to public school, there was no academic requirement to
take any language. But it was mostly the college-bound who bothered
to take it; hence, filtering on grades was kind of baked in.

I recently watched The Eyes of Tammy Faye. It's worth watching.

channel.
 I don't know about you, but I thought it was a surprisingly good movie.

German and English are a lot more related than Spanish and English, so
you'd think German would feel more familiar to you.

I started French in Gr 7, which was a couple years earlier than it
started in most schools up here, and I took it all the way through
high school. My started taking German in Gr. 10. My best friend was
German and his family were polite enough to speak English when I was
there but they spoke enough German around me that I absorbed a lot
of it before I actually studied it. While I have have much larger
vocabulary in French I usually need a few days before I start hearing
it clearly. My vocabulary in German is lot more limited I at least
hear the words clearly.
My son started learning French in Gr. 5 and when he was in Gr. 7 we
sent him on an exchange to Quebec. He spent two weeks up there and we
had a French kid here for two weeks. In high school he did well in
French and went on a school trip to Paris. He ended up attending
university in Montreal and worked his way through school working in
French. He eventually got a bilingual position with the federal
government. It's a good deal for him because he gets a bonus for
being bilingual. He has worked at learning Spanish. Over the last 10
years he has been to Cuba, Columbia, Pere and Bolovia and has picked
up a lot of Spanish. I have been with him in Mexican and Peruvian
restaurants where he had conversations with the staff and was
obviously quite fluent.

I moved a lot still then. 7th grade took Latin. Moved and no latin so
took german. Moved again and it was spanish for 2 years. Later as an
adult, Japanese 201 and 301.
Mostly I retained bits of Latin and Spanish but with a Cuban accent due
to Miami in grade school.

Does it remind you of lilac? That's one 'invasive'
species the way the smell invades the neighborhood
and mixes with the rotting over-wintered humus smell.
Both remind me of bathroom / laundry smell from soap &c.
