Did the groundhog see his shadow this month? Who knows, because we were freaking out about Snowmageddon. The snow didn't stop the sun from shining on our spice rack challenge for this month: citrus. Here is how it all went down:

ReplyDeleteI don't see mine either.. here is the link to the recipes, I emailed you the link earlier but guess it didn't come though for some reason.
Everything looks so good and so many wonderful idea's.
I don't see mine earlier and re-emailed it to you again this morning. 200birdies.wordpress.com. Thanks for hosting! Looking forward to March.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I can be such a rule breaker I thought maybe I had! Great round up, I've already found a few I want to try!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the posts I missed this month....I had issues with my reader!
ReplyDeleteSalt pork! My charcutepalooza bacon is inedible as a foodstuff but makes a lovely seasoning. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all this and for the preserved lemons hint. After thinking about these for years I finally made some with Meyer lemons today, based on the recipe from Well Preserved (the Eugenia Bone book) - she recommends Meyer lemons and also has a 3-citrus marmalade using Meyer lemons, blood oranges and grapefruit that I am trying tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great year for citrus.
so many great looking recipes, so little time... and now on to cardamom! :^)
ReplyDeleteok I think I have now visited everyone that participated and left a comment. that is one of the things I like about a challenge that is a little smaller, you can visit all of them
ReplyDeleteSeems like we are still getting great citrus now (in March) too. Recipes sound lovely everyone! Here's mine....late as always, but seriously worth it. Rhubarb-orange merigue pie.
