Who wants to guess how many bags of peaches are in my dad’s freezer?

The answer is:

Too fucking many

This is gonna make … a lot of jam …….

So, I managed to fit all but one big bowl of peaches into the two stock pots …

An hour and a half later, here they are simmering away …

How long is it gonna take to reduce them to jam, you ask?? Fuck if I know at this size lmao

In case you were wondering, it is, in fact, longer than 5 hours, as I am still stirring this jam over the oven :) :) :)

Oh and also there was another large bowl of peaches in the other fridge that I did not see until later, so I did not in fact fit ALL the peaches into the stock pots

On a brighter note, the whole house smells like a Victorian Christmas dinner

Hello again friends, it is currently REAL JAMMING TIME and I have been in stirring hell for seven hours

Went through two whole containers of pectin and a bunch of cornstarch already and things are looking just PEACHY

So, uh, the first stock pot alone yielded 272 ounces, so I … may have accidentally made about 68 8oz jars of jam …… and I only had 36 jars …

Guess I’m going back to the store tomorrow … and going to have to join the local farmers market to sell them …

Anyway, TEN CONTINUOUS HOURS OF WORK LATER, here I am at around 3am sealing my first batch of jars … (entire other stock pot of jam lurks ominously in the background)

God, it’s like when you overestimate how much pasta you’re gonna end up with, only 300% worse

So I woke up today after sleeping like a log to fibd my dad had already gone back to the store (which is like 30 min away) and gotten me more jars because he saw that I needed them

As you can see one of those pachages is the wrong size jar (4oz) so we’ll see if I can fit all the jam into these suckers (plus the two 8oz ones I had leftover)

My dad also put all the jars of jam in the fridge, although since they were all properly sealed (aw yeah) was totally unnecessary lol

He said he accidentally dropped one on the way to the fridge but I checked and it amazingly A) didn’t break, and B) remained properly sealed, so hats off to Ball corp, and also me I guess

Update: WE BE JAMMIN’

Spices I used for this recipe:

-Cinnamon

-Nutmeg

-Ginger

-Allspice

-Vanilla Extract

The combination worked out very well!

Gotta can the rest of it after I eat tho :P

So, I FINALLY managed to can all the jam, except for like … 6 oz of it, so I made shortbread cookies to use that with ;)

Altogether I did end up with 72 jars of jam, 12 of which are the 4oz size though. What the fuck am I gonna do with all this jam, jesus christ

Anyway, thanks for coming to my jam-filled TED talk guys, take care

send me some jam op

Some things I’ve noticed in “Fighting Gold”

So first off, spoiler warning. This is basically all spoilers.

Now that that’s out of the way, here’s a list of things (spoilers) I’ve found in the new JoJo op.

SPOILERS AHEAD I’ve actually been talking about this op with some friends of mine as well and besides the things you’ve mentioned, the things we’ve concluded/ noticed are: 1: When the statue is shown at the start, rolling stones is actually hidden by its feets. 2: When Giorno appears, the chains comes out of his blood. This is probably to say that the thing that ties him to it all, is his very blood, as a Joestar (Much like This’s part. I however, have yet to figure out why the chains break during Trish’s part) 3: We concluded that the chains might mean the fate they all share, and that the reason Fugo’s part does not have chains, is because he stays with the gang, and thus are not bound to the same fate as the rest of the group 4: When fugo first appears in the op, his whole part is mirrored, this is probably as a reference to the Man in the Mirror arc. where we first get to see his stand 5: I’m pretty sure the sand head that’s dropped when Abbacchio appears is a way of telling, that the event with his colleague getting shot, is what led him to join Bruno and thus what ties him to the their shared fate. 6: The hourglass Abbacchio stands in MAY be a reference to his stand ability

SPOILER WARNING (proceed with caution!)

Adding more stuff onto this haha. But yep, a lot of the things I missed include pretty much everything you said. Also, a note about my original post; the sand head Abbacchio drops is not of himself but of his partner, totally my mistake for just assuming it was him (whoops).

So some more things to note in the op (and please know that at this point these are mostly other people’s observations, not my own) are:

1. Narancia’s part of switching between showing his left, right, and both eyes possibly symbolizing how he’s not certain with himself and his actions and just follows people, going either one way or another until he finally makes his first real decision for himself to leave the gang (which would be represented by him turning around and being surrounded by air or freedom).

2. When the stand arrow shoots up before the title is revealed, there are 7 chains attached to it (though this number is iffy due to the chains being somewhat hard to see. Overall, the general consensus has been 7). This probably symbolizes the 7 protagonists in the main cast and how they’re all connected to fate.

3. The person under the cloak before we see Trish for the second time is actually Diavolo (this is how he’s first introduced in the manga) and is revealed to be Trish to kinda throw us off and also to establish that they have blood ties.

4. Next to the hourglass Abbachio is in are king crimson’s arms/hands

5. In Bruno’s part, while he’s walking you can see a light behind his head which references the silver chariot requiem fight

I tried ordering a boneless burger and the entire fucking system crashed

Reading the error log, this thing didn’t just crash. Somehow ordering a boneless burger corrupted the bootloader. Amazing bug right there.

This thing didn’t crash, it BROKE

literally just 

every single one of you reblogging this are going to hell

This post literally crashed my phone three times when trying to reblog it
