A few years back, I lived in France
for a couple of years. While in the
southern town of Montauban, France, I became friends with the Tapie’s. They were a great family and a lot of fun,
and they showed me a lot of fun things while there. I think it is fun and ironic that their last
name means “Carpets” in French. Maybe it
was subliminal thing to me from my carpet and flooring experience with our
family business Capell Flooring andInteriors. ;) One
night while I was at their home, they asked me if I had ever seen a Clementine Candle. I had not at that point, and of course I was
interested. So they proceeded to grab
one out of the fridge and show me how it was done- Step 1: Cut the
tangerine/clementine. Cut through the skin of the tangerine around the
circumference……in a circular motion ...
- Step 2: Peel the
tangerine/clementine. CAREFULLY peel the skin off of the top of the
tangerine first. ...
- Step 3: Eat the segments!
.........This is necessary step – they taste delicious when in season
- Step 4: Cut a hole in the non-stem
half of the tangerine. ...
- Step 5: Add olive oil to the stem
and soak the stem at the bottom of the peel that forms a little bowl
essentially...
- Step 6: Light your candle!
- Step 7: Enjoy the fragrance that
these little candles put off because they smell great.
I will always remember
to this day how much fun that was that night learning about Clementine Candles. I have now for years shown this to my family
and friends, but I decided this week that I needed to share this with my
friends from Capell Flooring andInteriors on my blog. We are all about flooring, homes, design, and
giving practical tips to our readers.
Here is a quick video showing you in a little
more detail how to make your own, enjoy!
