I discovered the best orange syrup recipe by accident ages ago. It's this:

Squeeze the juice out of some oranges & sift out the bits of flesh.

Measure the volume of juice, then pour into saucepan

Measure an equal volume of sugar, add to saucepan

Heat until the sugar dissolves and you've reduced it to a syrup

Simple and delicious.

However, equally by chance, I happened to have the ingredients for a really, really good use for the syrup:

Put some vanilla Haagen Daaz (sp?) in a bowl

Drizzle orange syrup over it

Sprinkle Charbonnel et Walker chocolate flakes over it

Try not to feel guilty that your lactose-intolerant housemate can't share

Try it someday!

In other news, we discovered that one of the fish in the pond is hydrophobic when I looked out and saw it laying on the ground. Don't even ask...
