Anton suggests using orange peel, not an orange per se. Take the peel off the orange so that you get a nice big section. This will be hard to flatten, so think about those Mercator maps of earth on the schoolroom walls when you peel it. Orange peel has zest. Really. That is what the oily stuff which squirts from the outside is called, and it is a spice. It will also gum up your scanner screen, so wipe down the scanner after you are done. If the inside of the peel is interesting, you might also scan it for texturing alien interiors of motherships. When you are sure that you are finished scanning, eat the orange and chop up the peel. You can "candy" the peel and throw it in fruitcake, or dry and grate the peel for throwing in other baked goods or spiced cider. Carolly
