Saturday morning found us way up in Anoka, crawling around on our hands and knees picking this year's batch of strawberries at the Bauer Berry Farm. We picked two huge boxes - approximately 1.5 more than we needed - but it was so beautiful out I could have kept picking for hours. And by 'for hours' I really mean 'maybe another 15 minutes longer than we stayed'.
That night found me standing in my underpants in our kitchen with fans blowing in every direction as I stirred pot after pot of red-hot liquid jam-magma. It was like a strawberry blast furnace or something. At one point I was so hot that I was convinced my sweat glands had stopped working properly so I tried panting the heat off like a dog. It didn't work - I just kinda hyperventilated and got dizzy. Oh well.
Only 12 more months 'til we do it all again. Yip yip.

Two Words: Freezer Jam.
dave thought:
i like them both, but i prefer cooked. freezer jam is almost too sweet. plus, it seems kinda silly to hand out jars of freezer jam to your friends. "look, i mashed up some berries and mixed them with sugar for you!" uhh, thanks?
Adi thought:
When do i get my copy of the Dave's Ultra Special Low Fat High Sugar Cooked Jam. They dont have that at super markets here.-
Amy thought:
So you're going to hand out jars of sweat-gland underpants jam?
ewwwwwww!!! i'd rather have berries mixed with sugar.
dave thought:
sweat gland underpants jam? thanks, i was having trouble coming up with a brand identity.
ps - no jam for you!
