Ⓐ - Ⓩ Danish Letters - Ø - Økologi

    Hver dag i april kommer der et A-Z indlæg klokken 12. Temaet er ekkoer, de løse ender, halve projekter, nye begyndelser, gyldne løfter og lokkende udsigter. Men jeg ville ikke være Uglemor, hvis ikke der sneg sig nye projekter og ideer ind i denne omgang A-Z også.
     Og så bruger jeg lige som for to år siden Æ, Ø og Å i stedet for de halvumulige W, X Y og Z
Ⓐ - Ⓩ
Every day in April a new A-Z post goes live at noon. The theme is Echoes, finishing touches, half done projects and endings. But I would not be MotherOwl if these posts would not contain more than a fair share of new beginnings and plans.
Just as two years ago I'm using the letters Æ, Ø and Å from the Danish alphabet. 
   Today we've made it to Ø.

Ø for Økologi  = Organic

Økologi betyder at man roligt kan bruge løs af planter, frugter, grøntsager og bær i Uglebo. Der er ikke fare for sjove stoffer, men måske en enkelt lille orm eller bladlus. Det er Uglemor glad for, når hun laver morgenfrueolie.
     For snart længe siden var der en post:  Morgenfrueolie del 1, men der kom aldrig nogen del to. Den kommer så her.

Organic means that MotherOwl grows her garden following organic principles; this again means that you can eat berries, fruits, vegetables and anything else (well, not the poisonous plants of course) without fearing stranger substances than the occasional worm.
  MotherOwl is very happy for this when being in her soapy corner. Long time ago a blog post called  Marigold Oil - part 1, went live. Part 2 never appeared. Here it is:


Morgenfueolie del 1, de tørrede blomster   --   Marigold Oil part one, the dried flowers.


Part 2
De tørrede blomster og olivenolie  --  The dried flowers and Olive oil


Et glas fyldes med tørrede blomster. Det skal ikke presses sammen, kun fyldes næsten op  
--
   A glass is filled with the dried flowers. Do not pack them closely, just fill in almost to the top.


Fyld så glasset med olivenolie. Der kan være meget i, og nu skal der fyldes op.
Bagefter skal der låg på, og så skal det stå køligt og ikke for lyst og trække i 6 uger.
Så er den klar til at blive brugt i morgenfruesæbe og til salve.

Fill up with olive oil. All the way to the top. It takes more oil than you imagine.
Afterwards a lid is put on, and the glass put in a cool, darkish place for 6 weeks to infuse / steep.
Then its ready to be used for soaping and un-petroleum jelly.

  1. I don't know much about organic (I think I said that about everything you posted here) but I imagine organic must better than processed things.

    So this oil is used like soap? I had thought at first it is for cooking seeing one of the ingredients is olive oil. Silly me.

    Have a lovely day.

    My A-Z posts are here.

    1. This oil is used in soaps, as an ingredient. I'm not sure how it would be for cooking. Oil and marigolds are edible though, so no harm would come to anyone, if I did mistake the oils.

  2. Hooray for organic produce. Does the oil take on some of the marigold colour?

    1. Yes it does. It turns quite golden. And my soaps ands un-petroleum jellies made with this oil are nicely yellowis golden as a result.

  3. Organic is best when possible, and i love the idea of a jelly for medicinal purposes that has no petroleum products in it.
