Sis, it's because it's on a tray... That is one of those work tables for when you are sitting at a couch or chair... Believe me it's so handy... In summer I drape my quilts that I am hand quilting over it and it's not laying in my lap and getting me warm... Also for little projects when I am cutting, like the Flower pin cushions... Reminds me need to make one...Have a great day everyone will check in latter off to Guild meeting...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent kind wishes about losing our dog. We have great memories of him and he now has a special place in the garden. My 11 year old used to go out everyday and sit with him and tell him all about her day and just "chill out" with him. Now she goes out and sits beside where he is buried and tells him about her day. I know that we will get another dog in a while but the house sure feels very quiet.

No need to be embarrassed. Yes indeed I did make the relish myself. I can stuff from our garden every year but with the crazy weather we have been having who knows as my tomatoes are not growing very fast and we have a slow growing season here
Hoping for alot of zucchini as everyone went crazy over the zucchini marmalade last year/

How embarrassing! I know that Bruce's name is Bruce. But I have a minor excuse ... I've been doing a raw foods and juice diet and ... well, to be delicate ... it's a good thing that I work at home and that's all I'm going to say ... but the detox part of it has me a little fuzzy headed. So ... my apologies to BRUCE! I plan on having a delicious COOKED veggie burger today and will try out the relish. Did you make it yourself?

I'm jealous about the zucchini bumper crop. We get horrid vine borers. I've tried everything, but in the end, they always win. Nonetheless, I'm trying again this year.
As for the recipe for the strawberry- rapsberry-chocolate jam - I can't find it at the moment, but just make the strawberry-raspberry jam in the usual way and before you're ready to pour into jars, pour a good bit if chocolate liqueur into the jam pot and give a quick mix. Process as usual. I know there are recipes that call for mixing in chocolate blocks, but with the cocoa fat, you really don't want to BWB. It's not safe. And you never want to pressure can a jam ... so chocolate liqueur it is! I tried it once using a good amount of cocoa powder stirred in while the mix was boiling but the foaming issue was out of control ... and it didn't taste as good.

You know what? In all my excitement, I think I forgot to post a picture of the wonderful box I received from jaciqltznok. Thank you sooooooo much. That fabric is beautiful. I can't wait til the weekend when I will have time to give that magazine some attention. LOL I have just started playing with the embroydery feature on my machine and loving the results. I am sure the magazine is going to inspire me further! Everything in the package was GREATLY appreciated.
Also, my package is in the mail to my SP. She posts on here quite a bit, and in fact has mentioned how patiently she is waiting! So sorry for the delay, I hope you find it worth the wait. Will check in the morning to see where it is and when it should arrive!!! thank you all,
