Marmalade Madmen

Marmalade madmen advertising butter and bread, tasty orange sweet, with a smile complete. Spreading the marmalade, thick greeting of lips, lopsided and listing, opening orbs. Jingjing Li, sectioning, slicing jars, supercilious- naughty, rolling right side and upside down - smiling. Fruity and delicious, toothy. Bitter and delicious tongue treat. Bergamots, citrus pucker ups. Yes, please.

You've gone and made a mountain out of marmalade! How about that?! I'd call it Mt. Everest- the grandest of the peaks. Keep on jammin' there, Kim! :) gw

Hi Kim, the last time I had marmalade I was still at school, and that was a very long time ago, have a lovely weekend Kim. Xx

I used to spread jam thickly too. Now I'm on a diet.

My husband is the the jam and jelly guy, but even he has cut back on that. Hugs ~ Kim
