feeling quite indulgent.
white wheat flour.
butter.
my last jar of 2010 strawberry jam.
feeling good about using that. i've got 20 pints of fresh 2011 strawberry jam.
i dont ever leave my shelves unjammed. (figuratively and literally. jam is important. and i am messy.)
so... since i have so much jam from this year, i figure it is time to let go of 2010.
along with all the jam that was made in 2010.
made the pop tarts from the april 2010 bon appetit. one of my favorites.
(obviously not quite ready to let go of 2010, or any of my bon appetit's...)
ate them and realized how much more often i should make this recipe. i have 20 jars of fresh jam afterall.
here is what i call real weekending:
this morning i woke up before crosby and cody. at 8am i made coffee and took my knitting outside. after knitting 6 rows of my newest sweater, with a very unseasonable nice breeze blowing outside, i went in to check on them to make sure they were, in fact, breathing. after confirming their existence and shaking my head at my good luck, i refilled my coffee and went back outside to work on my sweater for a while longer. realizing that they were both obviously taking the opportunity to sleep in, i started seeing possibilities of different projects i could start in my acquired free time. then i realized that i can start projects anytime i want, but i rarely can sit in silence outside and knit and drink coffee with the animals. (sidenote, the silence isnt because people talk to me, its mainly because when others enter my presence i feel hard pressed to not talk. just cause i like to talk.)
So then i laughed outloud, watched my cat jump over my neighbors fence to try and gather any and all stray mice and chipmunks and got back to my knitting, and my late summer breeze.
