Culinary Experimentation

I'm sure that all four of you dear readers have wondered why the Lady has stopped blogging. Let's just say that I'm not that great at doing routine things other than eating and sleeping. I've been enjoying a summer full of weddings, gardening, beaches, renovating (well sort of) and cooking! If you read the post below, you'll know that the Gentleman and I have been getting tons of fresh local fruits and veggies and I am enjoying preparing. We've been inundated with patty pan squash, peppers, corn, new potatoes and have had happy bellies as a result. After 3 months of marriage, I am learning my husbands favorite foods. The other day he mentioned he loved Hot Pepper Jelly. I have never made or even consumed Hot Pepper Jelly and so on a rainy Monday decided to give it a try for a little surprise-


I must admit, the results have been delicious so far- and have gotten 2 thumbs up from all testers. Canning has turned out to be fun and I'm ready to head on to my next project. Cousin Angie has started making chocolates, I don't think I'm brave enough for that yet. I'll be sure to keep you POSTED on the next adventure...
