That's Our Jam

 Well, jelly.

The big report this week is strawberry jelly. Cupcake picked up four flats of local grown strawberries and we made jelly. Eight batches of jelly in two hours. That's almost two gallons of jelly. Each bite tastes like springtime on a biscuit. 

The half full jar on the right we didn't can, we just kept out on the table for Sunday breakfast. It's gone now.

The Boy-in-Law came over for a visit with The Girl, and we gifted them a couple of jars. They are also fans of banana nut bread, so we whipped up a batch of banana nut bread cookies for them to take home with them.

One other food related thing from the past week. 

We picked up another round of sea bass for dinner this week. They didn't have perch this week, so we substituted sea scallops and fried them up on the Blackstone. There is officially nothing we can't cook on the Blackstone now.

We added a new bird to our collection last week. Neighbor Zach had a rooster left from his flock. Foxxy got all his hens, and wanted to find a good home for his rooster, but we had a rooster. Then while we were on our camping trip, Foxxy got our rooster and all but two hens. Anyway we took his rooster and he's fallen right in at The Acre. 

We called the missing rooster "Sonny Black" because he was solid black, so we named the new rooster "Sonny Red." 

We planted our onions, cucumbers, a couple of rows of corn and a few tomatoes. Mother nature hasn't really cooperated with our garden plans but the coming week looks better. Fingers crossed.

We ended the week with naps and jelly biscuits.
