Food!

Anne and I have been busy the last few weeks, making and canning jams and salsa. We've got peach lime jam, Kentucky tri-berry jam, honey blueberry jam, ambrosia conserve, two kinds of salsa, and lemon marmalade.

YUM! I'm so excited about our jams and stuff. The lemon hasn't set up, though. On my mother's advice we're going to let it sit for a while longer and see if it sets up on its own. If not, I'll probably reprocess it.

I also went out and harvested some carrots from the garden tonight.

Look! I created food from tiny pebbly things! You can also see that the carrots were not strong enough to grow straight down. But I kind of love how twisty and stubby they are. There'll be some carrots with dinner tomorrow.
