I have pectin! We went shopping yesterday in the city. After stopping at various stores, I finally found my pectin. Not all pectin is created equal. I needed a particular kind of pectin that will allow me to use less sugar or my sugar substitute. I am now able to make more jam. I still can't make sugarless jam but I can now make the highly caloric sugar variety of jam, but not as high as if I used the regular variety of pectin. There will be need to experience guilt when eating this jam but one need not go into a back-flogging depression over the whole thing. Actually, I prefer to save the back-flogging depressions for the times I eat See's Chocolates. I'll make the sugarless jam as soon as my Maltitol comes in the mail.

#1 son says he's going to make homemade pizza for lunch. Usually that sort of meal is saved for the evenings but #1 son has to work tonight. If homemade pizza is to be made and enjoyed while #1 son's friend is still here, today's lunch will have to be it. Tomorrow night I'm going to make steaks on the grill. We were thinking of going out for a Friday night Fish Fry but #1 son's friend hates fish. That's OK by me. I'm not too fond of fish fry's.

So...guess what I'm doing today. Anyone need jam?
