Feeling my independence
Jul. 4th, 2018 03:23 pmWhat I should be doing: various household tasks, yanking weeds in the back, whacking weeds, etc.
What I have been doing: nothing, with a side trip to the co-op for some berries and am currently baking blondies with a cheesecake and rhurbarb curd topping (they smell AMAZING, for the record).
I bought organic berries at the co-op for eating, though I already had a bunch of them on hand. The ones I bought at regular grocer aren't very good just to eat, so I am thinking on what to make of them. Perhaps another curd or a quick jam or sauce. Hmmm.
Used to be those of us more reclusive on days such as this could settle in and watch Independence Day over and over, but it appears that instead the choices are Captain America, Claws and Guy's Grocery Games. I watched my last CHiPs this AM - forty years on, and I have no idea why anyone thought they could go on without Jon. Five minutes in with the replacement guy and I couldn't bear it. Time for a new old show to watch.
ETA: I went with a quick jam, using local raw honey instead of sugar. My house continues to smell awesome. I'll have to either use this fast, or freeze it. That's the prob with quick jam - it's not meant super stable for long. Oh well. Maybe I'll make some bread and bring the jar to work for the heathens there to eat.
