You know what I'm doing tomorrow! I also have boysenberries, and will probably have blueberries, maybe next week? Plum, apple and blackberry will have to wait til later in the season - though honestly, with the awfully stupid weather we've been having, I don't know if I'll even get plums this year. That'll really bum me out, if that's the case, because the plum jam was my favorite of the bunch last year.

If you haven't sent your jam jars back, there is still time. I'm going to wait til all the jam is finished this year and send out packages then. And if anyone has any special orders, now would be the time to let me know!

1. I believe in the universal interconnectedness of all things.

2. I am greatly comforted by symmetry, and the color green.

3. If anyone were insane enough to make a movie of my life, it would have to be a musical, and there would probably be tap dancing.

4. I seem to be genetically predisposed to journey over destination.

5. I am a danger to myself and others in a laboratory setting. I am generally only a danger to myself in the kitchen.

Bonus: I once had a premonition I would live to be 106. I'm also uselessly psychic, so I don't worry about it much.

Who knew? I didn't. Put heavy whipping cream in food processor. Turn on. Wait a couple minutes. Hello butter. Ok, you have to drain the buttermilk and "wash" it a couple times, but the whole process was much easier than I would have guessed. Oh, and soooo yummy.

Could have been "airier" but otherwise, B+ for a first try. Made fantastic sandwiches!

The recipe is from Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice which, in a weird way, reads like a chemistry lab book - so in that sense it was familiar. Baking IS chemistry, just with a smaller periodic table!
