Friday
I’m writing this on Saturday evening, but it is really all about Friday.
The Montana peaches from Farmer’s market… 2 weeks ago – I had been eating them, but there were 7 of them left…
11.9 ounces of pealed and diced peaches.
So, I converted my peach jam recipe for 11.9 ounces vs 2.5 pounds:
11.9 ounces is .2975 of 2.5 pounds so multiply the sugar and lemon juice by .2975.
I LOVE making small batches of jam, preserves or marmalade. It is quick, I don’t need a monster sized pot and since I am making for just me, perfect.
Meanwhile, dough rising for bread and ciabatta rolls.
The kitchen smelled heavenly!
While the peaches, sugar and lemon juice were simmering and the dough was rising, I sat in my kitchen chair, with Auggie on my lap and watched the sky lighten as the sun rose…
… beautiful!
And eventually there was jam and rolls and bread.
It was just after 8:00 a.m.
Later, after a good work day…
Auggie as the lion king…
… or owl ears…
…or done for the day!
Bear lounged on the front porch…
… until he, too, was done for the day.
Friday.
