July 1

Watch out everyone, I've just selected "large" for my picture mode. Hope this homemade strawberry jam doesn't overwhelm your eyes. It was a definite sensation on my tastebuds - jam on toast, jam in my yogurt and grape nuts. And of course, my coffee and paper. Another Bedside Baptist Sunday for me. But can you blame me when I have so much toast to eat?

So it looks like I have another item to add to the hobby resume. Freezer Jams. The last time I ever made freezer jam was in 8th grade Home Ec. with Mrs. McLaskey, and as I recall, I was just as excited about it as I am now. You may think I'm just about the biggest dork (reverting to my 8th grade vocab, apparently) for raving about jam-making, but I think anyone who makes freezer jam is just as enthusiastic about it as I am. And the strawberries I picked at Siemer's farm were so sweet that I didn't even have to use that much sugar. So the moral of the story is: make freezer jam and you will experience a million delights.
