Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

Ted just an idea but try zesting you lemon and lime peels. that way you only get the outer part of the peel where the most flavor is. A zester is really nothing more than a real fine grater. My wife and I cook many different recipres that call for lemon zest.

Thanks, CactusJack,

I do have a citrus zester, and have used the zest in the dish I'm working with. I wanted to access and utilize the bitter flavor of the white of the peal to complement the flavor of the beef. Perhaps to complement any carmalization in the beef as well, kind of like using rosemary or coffee grounds on a steak or rost. The slight bitter flavor brings out the sweetness. It also uses a little of the abundance of peals I have at this time.

I was picking apart some store bought marmalade a couple of days ago, and it looked like there was a bit more white left on the peal than my friend and I leave... I'm thinking maybe we have been too careful in the past...

* Now that I think about it, the peal of the citrus could still be used if the fruit isn't ripe... I guess I always have access to peals then. I'm not sure how the bitter flavor will go with the chicken breasts, but I will give it a try tomorrow. I used up all the unfrozen beef in the meal I just finnished eating... and it was good.

* Also, the machines have stopped running out there... It is quiet, but I don't know if they are done yet. I did hear the backhoe beeping earlier; though, I don't know if they were filling the hole.

* Oops, they just started up the machines again...
