My Garden and Some New Recipes

Tuesday after summer school I ran to the store to pick up a few groceries and get fruit for jam. I tried a new strawberry jam recipe this year. It uses honey instead of refined sugar and apple instead of pectin. I wanted to make an organic real food version. It is delicious!!

While the jam was cooking down I tried a new recipe for dinner, BBQ Spaghetti. I used the BBQ sauce I made. It turned out pretty good. Next time I want just a little more spice.

I've got baby cucumbers and okra growing in the garden. I can't wait for next years garden. I have so many things I want to do differently and plant more of. This year was a trial year and I didn't want to spend tons of money if everything was going to die, but it hasn't so I'm excited for more next year.

Wednesday night I went to dinner with two friends from college. They are sorority sisters of mine and we try to get together every other month. We tried a new place in town called Heights Taco and Tamale. It was awesome!! I had tamales and a Delta Mule. The Delta Mule is made with ginger beer and brought make memories of sailing the BVI since we drank lots of rum with ginger beer on that trip.

We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
