From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_orange
Seville orange (or bigarade) is a widely known, particularly tart orange which is now grown throughout the Mediterranean region. It has a thick, dimpled skin, and is prized for making marmalade, being higher in pectin than the sweet orange, and therefore giving a better set and a higher yield. It is also used in compotes and for orange-flavored liqueurs.
Once a year, oranges of this variety are collected from trees in Seville and shipped to Britain to be used in marmalade. However, the fruit is rarely consumed locally in Andalusia
I can no longer eat anything made with Seville oranges:
Bitter orange may have serious drug interactions with drugs such as statins in a similar way to grapefruit.
Since I am not allowed to eat grapefruit, I assume that is also the case for Seville oranges!!!
2016 Update:
I am not longer on statins, so I can eat tart citrus fruit and berries, such as cranberries. Yea!!

Q:
When are Seville oranges in season?
A:Seville oranges have a very brief winter season from December to February.
Seville oranges are a variety of sour oranges that are most commonly used for orange marmalade.
Seville oranges taste sour, tart and sometimes bitter. When the bitter flavor of Seville oranges is combined with sugar, the predominant flavor is oranges with a sharp, tangy taste. The bitterness of the Seville oranges eliminates the over-sweetness of most fruit preserves and contributes to an intensity of flavor in the marmalade. Seville oranges can be refrigerated for up to two weeks or frozen.
Seville orange plants are used more as a rootstock for other types of citrus than for cultivating its own fruits.

Current Facts
The Seville orange, botanically classified as Citrus aurantium, is a sour orange variety commonly used for its oil extract. The Seville orange, also commonly known as bitter orange or sour orange has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat nausea, indigestion and constipation. The crushed fruit and macerated leaves will lather when mixed with water and is used as a soap substitute in the Pacific Islands. The Seville orange peel, when dried and concentrated, contains a chemical similar to ephedra and has been used in many modern weight-loss products.
Description/Taste
Although the Seville orange smells like a true orange, it does not have many other obvious award winning virtues. Its rough, thick and bumpy deep orange colored peel clings tightly to its pale orange translucent flesh, making it hard to peel. It is sour, tart, sometimes bitter and laden with seeds. It has two primary attributes: the peel contains fragrant essential oils and its flesh, when ripe is extremely juicy. The most common usage for the Seville orange is for the production of marmalade where it can use its peel and juice to its advantage; any sour and bitter flavors can be developed and enriched into elements of depth.
Applications
Seville oranges are most commonly used for orange marmalade. Use the zest and juice in flavored sugars or salts, syrups, cocktails, vinaigrette or marinades. Pair with fennel, bitter greens, chicories, olives, other citrus, fresh herbs, aged cheeses, seafood, rice, and Spanish spices. Seville oranges will keep, refrigerated, for up to two weeks.
Geography/History
Sour oranges are native to China. Trade routes brought them to Africa and the Mediterranean in the 10th Century. Cultivation of sour orange varieties led to the Seville orange of Seville, Spain in the 12th Century, where it would accrue its name. The Seville orange was the only orange variety in Europe for the next 500 years. It was also one of the first citrus varieties brought to the New World where it was naturalized in the Caribbean, South, Central and North America. When sweet oranges were introduced to America, sour orange trees would begin to shift their role as edible fruit to rootstock. Cross pollination of the sour and sweet orange trees also proved to create bitter fruits in sweet orange varieties which forced farmers to reduce production of sour orange trees.

"Go to the Shine That's on a Tree"
Go to the shine that's on a tree
When dawn has laved with liquid light
With luminous light the nighted tree
And take that glory without fright.
Go to the song that's in a bird
When he has seen the glistening tree,
That glorious tree the bird has heard
Give praise for its felicity.
Then go to the earth and touch it keen,
Be tree and bird, be wide aware
Be wild aware of light unseen,
And unheard song along the air.
~ Richard Eberhart

"Saint Martin's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint Martin, Martinstag or Martinmas, the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours or Martin le Miséricordieux, is celebrated on November 11 each year. This is the time when autumn wheat seeding was completed, and the annual slaughter of fattened cattle produced 'Martinmas beef'. Historically, hiring fairs were held where farm laborers would seek new posts.
Saint Martin of Tours started out as a Roman soldier then was baptized as an adult and became a monk. It is understood that he was a kind man who led a quiet and simple life. The best known legend of his life is that he once cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the beggar from dying from the cold. That night he dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half-cloak. Martin heard Jesus say to the angels, 'Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not baptised; he has clothed me.' [...]
A widespread custom in Germany is bonfires on St. Martin's eve, called 'Martinsfeuer.' In recent years, the processions that accompany those fires have been spread over almost a fortnight before Martinmas. At one time, the Rhine River valley would be lined with fires on the eve of Martinmas. In the Rhineland region, Martin's day is celebrated traditionally with a get-together during which a roasted suckling pig is shared with the neighbors.
The nights before and on the night of Nov. 11, children walk in processions carrying lanterns, which they made in school, and sing Martin songs. Usually, the walk starts at a church and goes to a public square. A man on horseback dressed like St. Martin accompanies the children. When they reach the square, Martin’s bonfire is lit and Martin’s pretzels are distributed.
In some regions of Germany (e.g. Rhineland or Bergisches Land) in a separate procession the children also go from house to house with their lanterns, sing songs and get candy in return.
The origin of the procession of lanterns is unclear. To some, it is a substitute for the St. Martin bonfire, which is still lit in a few cities and villages throughout Europe. It formerly symbolized the light that holiness brings to the darkness, just as St. Martin brought hope to the poor through his good deeds. Even though the tradition of the large, crackling fire is gradually being lost, the procession of lanterns is still practiced.
The tradition of the St. Martin’s goose or "Martinsgans", which is typically served on the evening of St. Martin’s feast day following the procession of lanterns, most likely evolved from the well-known legend of St. Martin and the geese. 'Martinsgans' is usually served in restaurants, roasted, with red cabbage and dumplings."

This is a compote of Venus images taken 30 minutes apart. The images of Venus are not evenly spaced nor do they form a straight line. There's a lot going on here: The sun is moving, Venus is moving, the Earth is moving and they are all rotating. And, wait for it...the sun is not flat so images near the edge will appear to be spaced differently then ones closer to the center. Had the sun not set, Venus would have veered right and exited out the side of the sun (aobut the 3:30 o'clock position) rather than the bottom as suggested by the current trajectory.
Unfortunately, I'm in a part of the world where the sun set before the transit could complete. In the US, I would have had to travel to Western Alaska or Hawaii to capture the latter stages.

Today's miniature delight, pear cake and a jar of pear compote. This delicious looking dessert is set on a super fine white ceramic cake, and has been already sliced, letting you see the realistic texture inside. Look close enough and you can catch a glimpse of the tiny seeds inside.
A fine powdered sugar has been sprinkled on top, as you would on any ready to be served dessert.
The glass jar with the compote comes with its own functional lid, to open and close as you like.
The material used is polymer clay, and the scale of the miniatures is 1:12/1''.
