Did 4 pints of raspberry jam for mom. Did 3 half pints of whatever jam for us. Found some more jostaberries where the birds didn't get them. So jostaberry, red currant, blueberry, and serviceberry. Was only 2 cups of fruit so cooked and mashed then added sugar. Didn't need pectin.
My ex had sparks go clear across the room because he wouldn't listen to me about that. "Oh I'm an Aviation Electrician! I know everything about house electricity!"
Me "I've seen this done before by qualified house electrician. Turn off the power."
Zzzaaap!
I have more stories about dumb crap...
How do you run the pellet stove without electricity? Pellet basket?
We looked at them when we replaced our wood stove. We loose power too often for an electric auger, so went with a regular high efficiency wood stove
Still picking a few currants. Gooseberries and Josta berries are done. Picked a bowlful of blueberries and serviceberries today. My plants aren't very big
Mom loves the chapstick I make. It's just coconut oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax. She says it's a Mounds scent.
I make a lotion that helps heal skin better than what we can buy. Which reminds me that I need to start the herbs in the oil so I can make more.
