Yay, strawberries!
Jun. 7th, 2023 06:08 pmMum and I love them, both raw and in the form of jam. So, since we can order them directly from the person who grows them at school - I've forgotten how it came together, probably through a former student, same way as with the eggs - my choir mate Eeine and I bought a ten-pound-kist together. Today, we met at school, shoved the kist into her car and brought it to us, in order to share the goodies evenly, with the help of Grandma's ancient kitchen scale that still works fairly well. Even though it is not digital. (The problems start when I need something that is less than 50 grams, but that wasn't the case with the strawberries.)
So, tomorrow I'll be making even more strawberry jam. Thanks to such clever tools as a staff mixer and Dr. Oetker's JamFix, it is a relatively easy process. Last time I was done in one hour; now it will take longer, as I have more fruit. Cleaning them and removing the little green leaves/strunk/whatever is the only time-consuming part.
Visiting the school at such an early time (I usually get there half past four in the afternoon for choir practice) had the advantage that I met five different (ex-)colleagues whom I've always liked but who aren't choir members. So yeah, social life, too.
I spent the morning with peeling asparagus, cooking potatoes, making a salad and a soup, so basically no crafty times were available. I cut out the bases for a couple more tags, but that was basically it. Still, every little bit helps.
