I swear, next year I'm going to can all of my tomatoes in wide mouth jars.

It is so much more convenient to just put the immersion blender right in.

As I get older, I find more and more ways to make this shit easier.

Last year we had a very good harvest and preserved some mirabelle plums. Delicious!

Making a second batch of grapefruit marmalade because the first batch got rave reviews!

I love marmalade. It is another of my vices, alongside beer, liquorice, and pastries -- the Danish curse! 😀 Anyway, I received an utterly humongous jar of #marmalade at Christmas. I'm working through it but I don't think I'll consume it all before it expires. And I don't think the photos here do its size justice. I mean, just look at it?! I included a mug in the second photo to indicate scale, but the jar still appears smaller than reality! Delicious though. Grapefruit and ginger. #preserves

Dear friends,
My words and graphic. 180 acre annex to #LongIsland, #NewYork Caumsett Park is so new there are no boundary or trail markers and didn’t know I spent most of the visit on Seminary property. (Map in the story made later.) Couldn’t use this image to illustrate but you may remember it from #SilentSunday. We were the only humans about. He was attending a silent retreat. Enough said.

Put my dinner in the slow cooker. Leftover roast beef, home canned garden tomatoes and salsa (last jar from 2024), guajillo + 2 x garden salsa peppers, spices.

Comfort food for a cold night.

Now I can go savour today's news.
