I consider it an honor to be mistaken for your mom, Jani. I noticed
that blackberries were $5 a pint at the Mps farmers market on Saturday
morning. Uffda. That would be at least $20 worth of berries for one
batch.

Nope. Same number, a few differences.

Does the Pope pray? :-) I spent probably an hour with the intake
ladies -- got into a discussion about some of the lots (let's just say
that the entry info is unclear at best and confusing mostly -- I'd like
a shot at editing it!) One guy came in proudly bearing his two jars of
something that looked like a soft spread. Wrong size jar. Thank you
for playing, there are no parting gifts. He'll find out soon enough.
The devil is in the details.

I delivered a jar of my B&Bs to be auctioned off at a fundraising thang
on Thursday night for the State Fair Foundation. visited a friend on
the way home and picked up some wonderful sweet corn closer to home.
Cleaned it, then forgot to cook it for supper!! Got caught up in tacos
-- but cooked the corn after supper. Some dessert. Is there anyone
else besides me who likes it *without* butter -- just nekkid?
Blahblahblahblahblah
