Jam


Guess what I can do? Make freezer jam! This is very, very risky new development in my life as homemade freezer jam is the equivalent to soft liquid candy you can put directly on your food, and it's perfectly acceptable. I learned how to make the delicious stuff last week, and it is REALLY very easy. So look out neighbors. . . this might be a preview to your "Christmas Neighbor Treats." I personally like it with fresh whole wheat bread and some yummy almond butter. Mmmm. It is no longer, "Gosh, I need some jam with this toast." It has changed to, "Gosh, I need some TOAST with this JAM!" I may or may not have opened the fridge, dipped a spoon in, and licked it clean with no intention whatsoever of actually putting the jam on anything except directly into my mouth. But I'm not confessing to anything. If you like freezer jam, try it! It really is easy.

I'm Here

Okay. . . that was weird, hitting the 'new post' button after so long. I am still here!!! Still alive, not missing or kidnapped, we haven't moved to another country with no internet access (although we do have a new computer!), no tragedies or anything like that. I guess I just took a hiatus, if you will, from this here blog. It wasn't really planned, it just kind of happened. And you know once you don't do something for awhile, all of a sudden you don't really know how to begin again? And you almost feel a little bit guilty about it? Well that is how I feel. I feel like for some reason I haven't seen a friend for a REALLY long time, and it's time to break the ice again, but will they still like me? What do I say? What do I do? Anyway, I am back to the blog that I have sadly neglected. Promise.
