Jamarathon

/

What a fun morning. I made 2½ pints of Shiro plum-basil jam, another 2½ of apricot-peach-almond, and then experimented with some gorgeous white peaches I bought yesterday. Considering how much I love the savory-sweetness of the plum-basil, I wanted to take these peaches in a similar direction. What about rosemary? A tiny bit of black pepper and a dash of Cognac? Let me tell you...this is a delight. It will be incredible on a good, hard, salty cheese. Mamma mia. As I only made about a pint to avoid waste in case of a disaster, I'll make more of this soon as well as share the recipe with you!

They slept, lovely latte, jam

Oliver slept for 12 hours and Jack for just over 12½. Who thinks they needed it?! Sometimes you just have to call it a day. T was doing a project so we just kind of grazed for dinner, and I sat outside reading the paper and enjoying some red wine. A looovely evening that also included some Olympics watching. The men's swimming is so exciting- what incredible athletes- and go US gymnastics gals!!!

Look at my morning joe! Isn't T's latte art getting skilled?!

Off to finish up my second batch of plum-basil jam.
