What I've been up to

Domestic Goddessing. Did 14 pints of raspberry jam last weekend at the lovely and gracious Desmama's house. (Desmama did all the work, I just followed orders and told her what a great job she was doing.) Am going back up today to do half a bushel of peaches in an attempt to finish her off. Then will rest easy in the knowledge that we can make it through the winter as long as the only things we need are peaches and jam and the 24 cups of fresh sweet corn in the freezer.

Tarting, thanks to Yankeegirl (who provided the tart pan) and Danalee (who gave me an amazing cook book with this recipe in it). And Lady Steed and Th. who gave me the cake stand. And my local Farmers Market for having so many peaches. It takes a village. And see? I said I'd make tarts.


Knitting, except I can't show you any pics because the intended recipients read this blog. Will start knitting a teddy for GH's Christmas present as soon as the current projects are done. You can expect a picture of THAT one for sure.

Wiing. Only actually did this once. Savvy and Ethan came to visit and spent the first hour spinning each other around in the computer desk chair in an attempt to make someone (anyone) vomit. When they tired of this and began a monkey-shrieking contest, GH stepped in to provide their first exposure to video games in the form of Mario Kart. It makes sense, he wooed me with a Wii back in the day too. Of course their lives are now forever changed and they want to know when they can go back to "GH's house" to play with him. Humph.
