Transformed

Although it has been a bit steamy here, I had no choice but to spend time in the kitchen today. When you have got lots of these...

..something has to be done before they go bad. So, they got turned into these.

Yum!

Sweet stuff

I have been indulging myself recently in a positive orgy of reading; only emerging for brief periods when necessary to feed myself and the cat. Oh, there were a few days of work, a birthday lunch or two (my son, not me) and shopping for food (for me and the cat) squeezed in between visits to the library for re-fueling my addiction, but on the whole I have been lost in the fog. I think I'm almost out of it but...

I did also manage to emerge for the time it took to make my annual batch of plum jam- taking advantage of the current price war of course, and it went well. Thank heavens for the microwave timer or it could have been burnt jam.. not sure what book I was reading at the time!
