Today too many sit on their arses on tinterweb for hours on end, and then say they have no time. My mother and mother in law would have kicked my wifes butt off the computer and told her to peel some spuds or descale a fish. |

Well, that's fine for people who have the time. Not sure a working mother of three would find that an easy option.

I also used to prepare packed lunches for us all, it's just a case of being organised and not being glued to the TV or sat at the computer until the work is done. For people to say they don't have the time is just nonsense and laziness, as you can always make extra and freeze it for a day when you really are a bit rushed. |

Oh yes - I have to admit that the marmalade on breakfast toast must be called processed. its not hard, as you say its all a question of the will and organisation. and the amount of waste is virtually nil, as any overcook ends up being used the next day or so, usually only the smallest amount of preparation waste. ` |

Depending upon what is meant by 'processed' the toast must also be included and the butter (if used).
As for bread.....personally I make my own. :) |

I'll grant you the butter, though it's churned so not really the same thing!

Re: Welcome to the future.
You're lucky to live in an area where you can go & buy "Seville" oranges. We cannot buy them here at all; have to go to France for them!!
Have you tried making marmalade? Dead easy, really & with less sugar, plus whisky or coñac added at the end, the best way to start a day. |

Re: Welcome to the future.
We had 3 seville orange trees. I used to make enough marmalade for a year and also some for friends. Despite that we had to throw boxes and boxes away. It was super marmalade, I miss it!

Not sure if it matures for the better or deteriorates with age but it still seems ok anyway. Always thought there were loads of Seville oranges freely available everywhere, but come to think of it I suppose the climate isn't suitable for them in many inland and northern regions. |
