Things of Note:
You guys! I made strawberry jam! Successfully! Witness:
It’s just plain strawberry, but it turned out tasty and the canning process wasn’t nearly as hard/tricky as I thought it would be. Hurrah! I see many more jams in my future.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on since yesterday.
What’s something new that you’ve tried recently?
