LOL! It’s very sticky.
What is he going to do w/the guava paste? I’ve been learning volumes about Southern food. Earthwoman made wild cherry jelly and I used it to make rugelach. It’s terrific that she likes to try new things. I query her re: whether she likes an ingredient or a flavor (she likes her strawberries with “a little bit of whomp,” so we concluded that she might like cream cheese pastry). Her grandson lamented that people bring her tons of produce, she processes it, and then gives the preserved items back to them. After having been the recipients of her largesse for so many years, it’s fun to finally give back to her!
A sad note: elderly combat neighbor fell again and this time hit his head. His daughter left today so we’re back to the routine of feeding the horse, etc., tomorrow. I wish he’d just let us take care of his animals permanently so we didn’t have to worry about him, but the people around here are so independent and proud. To quote you, “le sigh.”
