Why, Pinterest, why?

After several weeks of a new upload mechanism - one that resulted in ordinary-sized pictures - they've now switched back to the previous one, thus the photos I upload are tiny again. *grrrrrrrrrrrr!*

So you'd be better off if you didn't click on the picture below; at least here I can size it properly. It is a long overdue pic of the failed pink grapefruit jam that ended up as syrup. Therefore I haven't decorated the jars (as a form of punishment), but the... syrup itself looks very pretty, so I thought I'd share the view:



Otherwise, it was a quiet day. I washed my hair and did a surprising amount of writing while Mum attended to Mass on the telly, then I worked a bit on the small pillow cases. If everything goes according to plan, Eenie will come tomorrow and bring some dried lavender with her. Yay!

Then I fell asleep for an hour and a half over the crossword puzzle. Consequently no Topfenknödel was made - no time, as Mum didn't want to wake me - and we ate leftover Tütensuppe with sandwiches and the rest of the coffee cake. After that we went for a walk, but it was unexpectedly cold and we weren't clad warmly enough, so we turned back after a short time. The odd thing is, I'm still sleepy, despite my long and pleasant nap.

Artemis has a point — if you had some bottles to decant it into I think the syrup would make some very good gifts. Or you could just put it back in the pan and add a little gelatine to set it a little more so that it remains marmalade, now I think of it.

I've already tried the gelatine thing — it didn't work. Still, the whole thing has thickened just a tiny bit during the week spent in the fridge. We opened the smallest jar today and ate the whole thing with the Topfenknödel; it was delicious. So they might make good gifts in this state as well. We'll see.
