Word of the Day

Crackerslacker - The crackers that are found under the aluminum or plastic pouch when one finishes a package.

I'm considering making some simple syrup for liqueur making. I made three bottles of my strawberry liqueur the other day. I think I'll bring one of those bottles to HTP's folks this weekend when we go see them. The reason that I'm thinking of making more syrup is so I can make some wild raspberry liqueur to bring along as well. I think HTP's Mom would prefer a nice sip of liqueur at night versus my sugarfree jam....even though...my sugarfree jams are terrific. Aside from liqueur making, I'm thinking of making some Italian eggplant/green tomato pickles. I know Tom's Mom loves them. Actually, I know that HTP loves them. And it's not like I don't have eggplant to spare for the project. I'll get started on this project tomorrow. It always takes a couple of days...at least.
