What's Next?
I have finished Blueberry jam, Strawberry/Raspberry jam, and Black Sweet Cherry jam, what should I do next? I was thinking that I should do my one batch of Orange Marmalade. I'm the only one in my house that eats it which is why I would only make one batch, but it's all good. I can't make my Apple and Crab Apple jelly until after the first frost, same for Grape jelly so I have to figure out what IS in season and get busy while I'm still in the jamming mood. I was pretty bummed for a while last night because it looked like I was gonna end up with Cherry syrup instead of jam, but this morning ALL of my jars were sealed and nicely thickened.
Do the kids really like baling, stacking and unstacking the hay and straw? Sure, they're gonna make some good money by the time they're done, but I just hope that they're not getting used simply because they can't find anybody else to work. I don't think Ben and Alex have a problem, but is it too long a time for Em to be doing that? She hasn't complained, nor do I think she will simply because she doesn't wanna look weak in front of her brothers and Kyle. (Kyle may as well be one of her brothers, lol) She's been stacking and unloading right along side the guys, but yesterday, she was out there all day, they didn't even get home until after dark. I dunno, I guess I shouldn't say anything until she comes to me first. She's tough.
I think Em thinks I'm an egg flipping genius :) She's been doing a great job cooking eggs for the two younger siblings and herself, but she still has a little trouble flipping the eggs. She just ran out into the kitchen to watch me to see how I flip them (Ben wanted some eggs but can't yet make them himself....yet), she was waiting for me to pick up the spatula, however, I don't use a spatula, lol, she was standing there with her mouth hanging open when I flipped them in the pan!!!! "How...did...you...do...that???" was her question. Ahhhh, I love it when they think you're special for something to me that seems so mundane ;) Her and Alex used to think it was great that I could crack eggs with one hand, but they both can do it now. I guess I'm a good teacher in some respects. Egg flipping is something that I don't really wanna have them trying right now though, lol, that could be quite messy!!!!!!!!!
I'm bored now, I guess I'll go and figure out my next jamming conquest.
Y'all have a great day and eat a PBJ (w/fresh jam of course)
Love Ya :)
