People send all sorts of stuff through the mail these days as long as you declare it. Stay posted.<br /><br />I don't think it's expensive to make just time consuming. The rind will need to "relax" in the alcohol for ages, like 43 days or until a piece of peel snaps like a potato chip. Then I have to make the syrup and add to the strained alcohol and leave it for another 40days.<br /><br />This recipe is biblical I tell you.<br /><br />So Ramon, we might need to have another beer in the meantime.

I have a litre of vodka and need 300 gs. Or I could halve the recipe but it's a lot of labour so worth doing a larger quantity. That's my excuse anyway.<br /><br />Instead of grating the rind I am going to try peeling with a vegetable peeler, which some recipes say is the way to go.

You've kept me warm through cold winters nights, reading your adventures about your heartbreaks, aches and pains which have had reflection in my own heart, knowing as I do that the heart is fragile and not at all heart shaped.<br /><br />Drunken debauchery, parties out of hand, random hook ups and disastrous dates. I've lived through my own and yours, it has amused me, made me cringe and had me shouting with glee. I've fallen a little in love with your (at times) inept romantic style yet I have such high hopes for you in the end that no woman will ever be good enough for you.<br /><br />I'll miss your weekend wraps and will now away to sob. Manfully. Because sobbing like a girl is SO not cool.<br /><br />Oh, and I was going to say that Melba got more lemons because she's doing something interesting with them, like making an alcoholic drink.
