Gotta learn how to make jam!



What did people say?

  • ⇒ Annie: I’m a jelly maker myself. So fun and makes great teacher gifts! And I give the skins and pulp to my boss for her chickens.
  • ⇒ Robin: Making jam is a gateway to canning. You're likely to escalate to pickles and tomatoes. 
  • ⇒ Judy: Frozen grapes are also wonderful on sore throats, in addition to keeping wine cold without diluting it.
  • ⇒ Carla: I just picked over 40 lbs of my champion blue-ribbons grapes (fair). my friend makes jelly & cordial w/ it.
  • ⇒ Un Kno: Soo easy 1 pound fruit 1/2 cup sugar. Med heat while mashing fruit til it’s dark. Test by placing small amount on a glass plate from freezer. Drag spoon thur tester if it comes back together after 2 min on sitting on counter not ready. Like takes 20 minutes max.

I need to repurpose taco soup? What ideas do you have?

 The Question: We’ve already had it when I made it and once for leftovers. I know I could freeze it but I’d rather figure a way to use it up now. What did people say? ⇒ Abby: Mix in some rice, put it in a casserole dish with some cornbread mix on top and bake that sucker! ⇒ Jess: Add in dried pasta to cook and soak up the liquid. ⇒ Jenni: If it’s a cheese based taco soup you could use it for nachos (poured over) or cheese dip with chips snack for the weekend. ⇒ Teresa: Taco soup pie I do the same with leftover roast with vegetables.

What is your favorite credit card and why?

The Question: I’ll start. I like my GAP card. I buy whatever I want. I shop at the store 2 to 3 times a year when things are on sale, and most of my order ends up being free. I find their stuff fits well, is comfy and durable. What did people say? ⇒ Jessica: "Earn 1 Point for Every $1 Spent" spent outside of their stores doesn't seem too great to me unless I'm missing something? I get more with all my other cards, and I don't have to spend it at the gap. ⇒ Riley: Prime Visa for 5% back on Amazon purchases and 2% back at restaurants/gas stations, Amex Blue Cash for 3% back on groceries, Apple Card for 2% back on anything I can use Apple Pay for, Capital One Quicksilver for 1.5% back on everything that doesn’t fall into any of the other categories. Helps me always maximize my earnings and then I cash out all the points when I go on vacation so I don’t usually haha to pay while on vacation. ⇒ Jessica: I like my visa signature (pncbank) because it has 4% gas, 3%res...

Has anyone tried starching their jeans and does it help them to last longer or not get as dirty?

 The Question: Fellow girlfriends/wives of blue collar workers, or perhaps if you’re a blue collar person yourself: My boyfriend goes through work jeans so quickly as a trucker who does heavy hauls for a construction company. My question is, has anyone tried starching their jeans and does it help them to last longer or not get as dirty? He wears through them most quickly on the knees and butt. His job does provide work jeans, but not enough for a weeks rotation.  TIA for any advice! What did people say? ⇒ Kenna: Get dickies! They’re thick work jeans. They lasted longer for my husband than Carhartt, and half the price. ⇒ Morgan: As someone who is also a blue collar worker with a partner in the same field. I wear wranglers and Ariats when I can get them. In the winter leggings under insulated carhartt coveralls My boyfriend gets Costco jeans. ⇒ Jessica: If you have a label shopper or similar store near you you might be able to find "name brand" jeans for cheaper. Assuming th...
