Home citrus & home baking

Winter's the season of colds and flu, and the flat's a bit cold sometimes, so I'm really glad we have a set of citrus trees in the back garden.

It's great having them, but what's even better is having them AND a sunny day (when your washing dries on the line in a few hours) to go out and pick the fruit.

I foresee plenty of lemon, honey, and ginger drinks - as well as a bit of pasta with lemon, vinegar, and mustard sauce.

And on the topic of producing things at home, I can recommend baking Scott's Farewell Square - recipe in Ladies, A Plate: Traditional home baking by Alexa Johnston.
It doesn't have any citrus in it, but it tastes pretty good, and it's not a bad way to use up a few Weetbix that are past their use-by date.
Our kitchen scales were out of order, and my guess-work produced a rather crumbly example of the square, but never mind.
I got a few good slices out of it, and I'm sure the crumbly bits will be nice mixed with some natural yoghurt!
