Vine

Looks like a mess? Look closer!

Those are the largest wild grapes I have ever seen - by a wide margin. It is also the most productive vine! There are so many grapes here. Most we could not reach, but we took what we could get. These grapes taste nicely sweet/tart. There is a similar vine about 15 yards away - but those taste much more sour and also kind of rank. Plain old sour is ok; rank is not.

K and I picked from the good-tasting vine, and I spent a while Sunday evening and this morning picking them off the bunches and cooking/mashing/straining them into juice. Some of it we will drink, a small amount I made into jelly this afternoon.

adventures in preserving

I can hear the leaves crisply rolling along the street outside. The sky is blue and the sun is warm - this week is what's traditionally called 'Indian summer' in New England, our last really warm stretch before the first frosts arrive.

At home, while i wait for job applications to be seen and clients to respond, I preserve. All summer I've been making pickles, but now its time for jelly, applesauce, dried apple slices, juice, and vinegar.

The skills of homemaking, of quiet homesteading even, aren't limited to a traditional family or house (as much as i would love to be married with children of my own). My body still tells me to prepare, so I do. Food, cleaning, growing, preserving, planning – for friends & family & myself. These arts can be learned by anyone, and bring so much joy & delight to living.

To know that an entire bounty of food is all around us on the roadsides, neighborhoods, woods, and fields, and that we have the means to gather and prepare this bounty?

To be able to bake a healthy loaf of bread, to stretch a chicken for several meals.. these are economic and exciting adventures to me. Especially in these uncertain times when I'm not sure where my next paycheck is coming from, or whether I'll have to dip into savings again.

But no matter. I enjoy the frugality, the 1930s excitement of doing without, wasting not, wanting not.

I tried these Kroger jumbo buttermilk biscuits with Bonne Maman strawberry & raspberry preserves, Meijer Creamy With Honey Peanut Butter Spread & Kroger honey crunchy roasted peanut butter, Spam bacon, and Spam Tocino.

The Kroger Jumbo Buttermilk Biscuits sandwiches was pretty good.

The biscuit and both spams were both firm yet soft and the creamy Meijer Creamy With Honey Peanut Butter Spread the Kroger honey crunchy was both smooth and crunchy, the tocino spam added a light sweetness and the bacon spam added a light saltiness with the pork.

This biscuit sandwich was lightly salty and sweet to the biscuits.

The strawberry and raspberry preserves gave the biscuit sandwiches a light sweetness that this sandwich needed and the creamy with crunchy honey peanut butters added a light sweet/salty to these buttermilk biscuit.

This was a a little messy to eat when holding this biscuit sandwich but was still tasty.

This was sweet and salty tasting but not overly of both.

I would eat this again.
