There were a couple of things that did not get accomplished yesterday, I just ran out of steam. I will add those to tomorrow's list and see how it goes.
I decided against making strawberry syrup from the tops of the strawberries. I have plenty of strawberry freezer jam for a very long time. Hubs tried it last night and thought it was SUPER SWEET ( it is) and made a face and added in a Yuck for effect.
Whatever. I still like it and it looks like I will be the only one enjoying it. A little bit at a time because it is so sweet lol.
It's the second day of Amazon Prime days, I really have not found anything I cannot live without. I do need to order more sneakers for myself and I will do that later today. There was something else but I can't remember it right now.
The crows came in to eat this morning. They typically come in a group of four. The mockingbirds are still mad at them and try to attack them.
Not much else. Time to hit the road and head south.
Many times I don't complete my to do lists either, because life happens. There's always tomorrow. I could never survive in that heat. I can't even stand the high 80s temps here.
ReplyDeleteI've never made jam before (so I'm no expert), but can you add something tart (like fresh squeezed lemon juice) to help combat the sweetness. We eat low sugars, so most things taste sweet to me when it has just a teensy bit of extra sweetener. Have a great day!
The heat is something else this year! I will try fresh squeezed lemon juice. The jam is super sweet, this is my first time making it so maybe there were errors lol. It was fun, and I still love the jam in small amounts.
DeleteOkay now I am hungry for toast and jam, have to go get some!
ReplyDeleteToast and jam can solve so many problems. Take care Kim!
DeleteMockingbirds hate crows. We watch them all the time. One mocking bird will take on multiple crows. It is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIt is!! They put on quite a show going after the crows lol!
