All departed this world in a shovel of fat

At my family's annual Hanukkah party tonight, my brother deep-fried: Golden Oreos, a Crunchie bar, two kinds of marzipan (chocolate-dipped and plain), a peeled clementine, candied orange peel, candied ginger, a chocolate marshmallow, and Great Cthulhu. There were calls for him to deep-fry some grapes, but by that point the exercise was mostly theoretical: I'm not sure anyone's cardiovascular system could have stood further experimentation. We may have achieved both excellence and serious injury.

But oh, my God. Deep-fried candied orange peel and deep-fried candied ginger. That may be all you need.

And hope.

I'm not sure when/if report will come (due to the backlog of So Many Posts), but here is a photo of the Seville oranges, boiling away, preparatory to being turned into marmalade:

making marmalade: boiling oranges
