I think it looks okay. Freebie is always a good thing.
Well, we would want a wireless one for the wedding that can get close enough or we'd end up looking like little ants off in the distance. ;~D
Ya know you're gonna have to be watchin' this webcam next month to see the weddin' don't ya? :-)
Freebies is my price!!!
Well, fine if it works! It keeps konkin out and we keep having to restart it.
The only time I had agarita jelly was store-bought (from The Texas Store in the mall) but it was good!! I like prickly pears too (arent the fruit called 'tunas'?) I tried making a drink out of them, but soon discovered how seedy they are on the inside. But they have such a refreshing good flavor, I'd almost be willing to go through the effort to extract juice from them again.
I'd love that recipe!! Thank you! Although, to be honest, I have never been fond of apricots. My tastes tend towards the tangy/bitter/not-so-sweet stuff...and I am about the same as you when it comes to eating jelly...I am lucky to finish a jar in a year. Hubby loves mustang grape jelly and we have a surplus of the stuff. I am not terribly fond of grapes (unless its been converted to wine!!)
Have you ever grown elderflower? I am not real sure how it would do here on the coast, but it is the prettiest tasting herb...
all the prep work is what has been intimidating for me. I remember my mother spending hours in the kitchen just sterilizing all the jars and how hot it would get...not to mention the mess. I do good to clean up after a normal dinner.
do jalapenos go well with peaches?
I'm getting it here at work, but I have to hit "refresh" for each new frame.
How about a camera on a pan/scan/tilt platform?
yea I know! What time is the wedding...give me all the details again. I am sorry. Not that it isn't important enough to be on my mental calendar. It's just that my mental calendar has gone MeNtAl :~P`````
Hmmm?
Wonder why it isn't refreshing for you. Do you have javascript turned off?
Right now the cam is just sitting on top of my monitor, and I manually move it around.
The wedding is at noon their time. 10 AM our time. I will try to remember to wave at you! :-)
I miss Myranda's hair!!!
That works perfect. Since I don't have the net at home I can come to "work" that Saturday morning and watch from 9AM to 12!
I think I've been canning for so long that all that prep work etc. just comes natural to me. I don't even think about it any more... except for digging around trying to find enough jars. I have dozens of quart jars from when I used to grow a really big garden but am almost out of jelly sized jars. I wish I could find somebody who canned and wanted to swap big jars for little jars.
Which recipe would you like? I think as far as which kind of peppers with which fruit it is a matter of personal taste. I like the flavor of habaneros better with peaches but you might like jalapenos better.
Yes, prickly pears are seedy... and then theres the spines. Yeah, they are tunas. Funny huh? I take tongs and thick gloves with me to gather them and then burn the spines off. I also have a jelly sieve which crushes 'em and removes the pulp and seeds so I have the right tool for the job there. But, I'm like you... love the flavor!
Hey! That's a plan! As long as they don't make you work!!!
OK - so that is what is wrong then... at least it isn't a malfunction at our end...
nah...they know better! LOL
You just have to let 'em know that Hair and Ecurbh's wedding is *way* more important than work! :-D
