Saturday projects

I've been very busy today! First I made this

Pomegranate jelly. Making jellies and jams is one of my favorite things to do - which is a little weird because I don't eat any of it - just like making it. Biz eats a lot of it and I usually end up giving a lot away. I like to do baskets at Christmas filled will mini loaves of bread and a variety of jam and jelly. I've been doing it so long, people have come to expect it and usually let me know what their favorite flavors are. I wanted to try pomegranate because I knew it would be a little on the tart side. I did have to sort of "cheat" on this because we don't have pomegranates around here but I found some 100% juice and had to do it. Biz says it's really good. We'll see how everyone else likes it.

I'm always looking for new flavors so if anyone has any ideas let me know. So far this year I've done:
blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry, red raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, corn cob, green tomato, jalapeno (which is one of my most requested), and this pomegranate. I found recipes on Friday for both dandelion and honeysuckle jelly - sadly won't be able to try those till next spring.

Then - after doing all the laundry for the week (which involves multiple trips up and down the stairs and then to the clothesline and back), doing all the vacuuming and other household tasks and taking the dog for a walk ( trying to justify these as exercise because I still have not done tae bo) - I finished this.

And then I started another baby blanket.

Then I came and sat down at the computer to do some homework - finished!!  :)
This post is my reward for getting everything done!


As far as the diet goes, haven't been bad today but like I said - still haven't done the tae bo. We'll see what the scale says on Monday morning
