Last weekend we went berry picking; strawberries and (really) early raspberries. Earlier in the week, Galen and I made raspberry jam, and last night and today I am making strawberry freezer jam. But late yesterday afternoon, when Steve came home from work, I was bemoaning the fact that the strawberries needed processing (I was terribly sick earlier in the week when I had planned on doing it) and I had so, so many other things to do in that moment. So Steve offered to help me with the jam…which turned into Steve making the jam, with me talking him through it.
“mmmm, jam”
I told him we’d have to send some to his Mommy. Strawberry is her favorite. She’ll be so proud.
Self Portrait: Steve with Jam
He says it’s only appropriate to gloat as much as he did the very first time that you make jam, so I guess I missed my chance. He thought about getting his own blog, but what with having only the one thing to post about, decided against it.
It is very good jam. We had some on almond bread with breakfast this morning.
And it wouldn’t be a jam making session if he didn’t walk around singing “Jammin‘” (though he does it in the voice of Simpsons’ police chief Clancy Wiggum, and sometimes changes the lyrics a bit to include words like “strawberry”).
When asked if he had anything to say about the experience, he replied, “I’ll never make jam again.”
jam-tastic!
You’re a funny, funny man.
I’m sorry.
For being funny?
I suspect you didn’t mean ‘ha-ha’ funny.
eh, a little from column A, a little from column B…
Shouldn’t you be busy finishing up work so that you can get home and spend some time with your loving wife?!?
I finished everything that was expected of me for the day. And I’d be home even sooner if my loving wife didn’t have me stopping at the fabric store on the way home.
It true. However do you live with me?
lol, you two are cute. Nice post =]
Yeah, Mule, how cute you are!!!
I feel like I’m listening to a private conversation
Kudos to Steve! And for going to the fabric store. My husband could relate – he had to pick up some thrift store camoflage pants for me today (for sewing into a satchel).
everything about this post is hilarious!!!
