Look at this. I'm up before 7.30. Been a long time since that happened.

Of course, I also woke up to find paularidgeway and jenonthebeach both beat my Bouncing Balls score. Vengeance is mine... eventually. Stupid game won't load now. I think it is a conspiracy.

Today's program? Laundry. Make cherry jam. Go to Bi-Mart for pectin and vinegar. (No, the jam doesn't call for vinegar.)

But first... EAT FOOD. I'm obsessed with my recently-made granola. It's so yummy.

Jam.



Right now I'm baking a cherry crisp with a layer of Granny Smith apples on top. The crisp part is looking kind of dry. I tried olive oil instead of melting butter because a) we are out of butter and b) I could use Smart Balance but wanted to be creative. I think maybe a little more was in order. Hard to say though. It smells delicious anyway. AND it used up several cups of cherries.

I may do a cobbler too, but crisp calls for fewer utensils.

EDIT: If I had been smart, I would have put the cherries on top. They are wetter. I wonder if the apples cooked at all? Does this mean I have to dig in and eat some to find out? Hmm.
