spam

Is nobody posting food stuff because of the spam?

Nah, just not quite time yet. Finished two batches of
strawberry jam today, one batch with Ball pectin, uses
1/4 c. lemon juice, the other batch with Surejel uses
none. We'll see how it goes. Also side by side taste
comparison, them beyoutiful deep red, nice red fresh
strawberries didn't taste as nice as the frozen ones I
used to eke out the second batch. 'Course I live in the
desert and local berries are sold by the ounce. Be
Aware! the grocers now sell berries in 1 # cartons,
instead of quart cartons like they used to. 1 # cartons
have a little less - about 1/2 cup or so at least in the
mashed finale.
I wanna make some strawberry/kiwi jam, saw a recipe
around here somewhere.
Edrena, pink fingers.

yep, that time of year. The only preserving I could do is with the
stuff I may have forgot about last season that's in the freezer. I
think there are peaches, blackberries and cherries in there. I KNOW
there are strawberries in there....But I have plenty of time to work
with that stuff before this year's fresh stuff is ready.

Kathi,
Ontairo, Canada, where the temp is 9 degrees C right now and frost is
still in the ground.

I couldn't resist this, the devil made me do it.

Bright and cool this morning but mid-day temps will hit 80F. We have
pole beans climbing the trellis, the lettuce is growing well as is the
chard. The tomatoes have little tomatoes on them and last years chile
plants are blooming and budding after I pruned and fed them last month.

The peach, pear, plum, mayhaw, loquat and oriental persimmon trees have
or are setting fruit and I have visions of jellies, jams, cobblers, etc,
dancing through my head. May be time to clean out the freezer and make
some more space in there.

I've been eating some mayhaw jelly Bob Baron sent me on a swap and it is
wonderful. Picked up a pint of muscadine (grape) jelly the other day at
a flea market, also wonderful so I think this weekend I will go back and
get some of the lady's blackberry jelly and check out her other wares.

I went to work at 0630 this morning and was home by 0730, I do like
being a consultant, much better than working for a living.

Life is good.

What you have to do is report the spammer if at all possible. I've reported
at least a couple at least who have lost their email for spamming
newsgroups.

Hey George, I knew somebody, somewhere, had garden weather! I'm
envious! It's gonna be another cold one today, but there is a light
at the end of this never ending cold weather tunnel - the crocus are
in bloom.....

I live in USDA Zone 9b and that sometimes approaches zone 10 and, on the
occasional winter, hits zone 8. You want some different weather around
SW Louisiana you wait a few minutes and it will show up. Right now it's
exactly right except the mosquitoes are out in force again as soon as it
gets dark.

Ah well. We northerners will have our day - in July and
August.

months of darned-poor sledding...)

That's okay Pat, someone has to live in uninhabitable places or there
would be no one to complain about them. Rather thee than me if it gets cold.

Being raised in SE Texas I thought being in a cold place would be a neat
thing until I went on North Atlantic patrol, up by the Artic ice cap,
when I was young man in the Navy. After that I kept putting in transfer
requests for duty on the equator. Yup, I do not like cold weather,
anything below about 72F is too cold for me.
