I made banana bread and brownies and those are both good. 🙂
I made jam and it didn’t set. Poopy. I think it’s cause the fruit was over-ripe. My reading says it is a common problem. That’s fine, we’ll use it on ice cream. 🙂
And Shanna was a bit shocked after the first shot and burst into tears after the second shot. She only cried for a couple of minutes and then has been fine all day. We are now in negotiation with the pediatrician as to which vaccines we will be doing next. Have I mentioned that I love my pediatrician? He’s an awesome guy. He’s trying really really hard to sell us on flu shots and he had some great statistics to back up his point of view. I’m going to do more research but it may be that we get flu shots this year due to some issues with H1N1 and pregnancy. We’ll see. We also need to decide about DTaP. That one… I have a lot of conflict about but it might make our schedule. MMR and Polio will both happen before our next overseas trip. This thinking about vaccine stuff is very anxious making.
She dropped percentiles on weight again. However she did gain half a pound which is upward progress and I’m happy about that. She is down to the 30% on weight. (21 lbs 4 oz) She is at the 81% on height (this is kind of neato). (31.5″) And head circumference has dropped a little but it’s still high. I can’t remember the exact number and I can’t find the piece of paper. 🙂
He was impressed with her vocabulary. 🙂 I am too so it’s awesome to be validated. 😀
I think that’s it for now.
(Icon because I just got out of the shower and I’m naked. 😛 )
What kind of jam. Mom did that with strawberry jam one summer. It was great on ice cream. But she discovered a recipe for strawberry bread that was a really tasty way to use up piles of it. If you have a pile of soupy strawberry jam, I’ll poke her for the recipe.
It’s strawberry/blackberry/raspberry but it’s very heavy on the strawberry. I would love the recipe. 🙂 It looks like my canning attempt was successful so I will have plenty of time to make it. 🙂
FWIW: I’ve managed to “fix” a batch of soupy jam by adding a second round of hot pectin-&-water. Runny jam over ice cream is also good 🙂 Or over crepes, or pancakes, or pork chops, or biscuits, or angel-food cake, or… or…
Someone close to my immediate circle just died due to H1N1 complications during pregnancy (the baby survived). I don’t know what positive affect the flu vaccine has, as my understanding is that we still don’t have a vaccine against H1N1 itself, but if there are stats that it does make a difference, I’d definitely err on the side of caution. We’re heartbroken for the loss of a dear momma.
or… body lickings…
