today was my unofficial day off.
i gave today to a girl who needed the hours and since i was going nuts working many many many MANY days in a row, i decided to give it a go.

today i started by making strawberry jam.
since i've only ever made grape jelly and raspberry jam before, i attempted to make strawberry.
right now i have it on the counter setting before i stick it into the refrigerator for 3 weeks.
this is what it looks like.

who knows if this is what its supposed to look like, so i'll wait the full 24 before any decisions are made with this.

and then i made a sourdough starter (which i didn't photograph. why? it's boring. lol the finished product is more photogenic.)
then i whipped up my very favorite grape jelly.

yum. can't wait to spread this bad boy on toast. but i gotta wait a week for it to set. rats. lol

then i got the baking bug and decided to make cupcakes!






and that was my day set to the sounds of jason mraz, mariah carey, the jackson 5, jackie wilson, and the beatles.
good tunes make for amazing treats.
good times.
