Things! With Pictures!

Thing 1:

So, the jelly thing turned out awesome (I've been eating English muffins with homemade jelly every morning at work and not only does this mean I have a cheap breakfast, I am filled with self-satisfaction with every bite) and I have been entertaining other food preservation thoughts (pickles, y'all, pickles). But then

Those cakes look amazing! And you look lovely :-)

Thank you very much.

Oooooh! I remember seeing the pies in a jar over on Our Best Bites a couple months ago, except those were just pre-made and frozen, then you baked them when you felt like eating one. I wonder if you could do them the same way, though... X3

Ooooooh, I bet that would work! I'm kind of tempted to give it a try.

Little jars of apple pie, just sitting on the shelf, ready to eat... *Drool*

I love that orange so much!

You look great this morning!

Isn't it cool? I love old abandoned things.

Thanks!

I honestly don't care for Punky Colors at all. The bleeding is too much for me and it fades super fast.

The Pravana Vivids have treated me well - this last time faded a little more quickly than usual but the back is still quite bright. I think it is a combination of only leaving it on for 15 minutes and me being out in a sun a LOT lately.

It also cracks me up how different the same COLOR can look on a person!

We were rushed the last time - it was right before Convergence and it was Kat's anniversary and she had stayed late to give me a haircut and redo my color. But I think next time I'm going to ask her to just send me home with the color on my hair and then I can let it sit for a couple hours. I think it'll stay a lot more stable then.

You also change your color a lot more than me - my hair has been blue, more or less, for two years now! *grin* I don't think I'm going to be changing it any time soon, so the color not bleaching out is actually a plus for me.

Sometimes I miss having hot pink hair (I was using the L'Oreal Hi-Lights for Dark Hair for that whole adventure) but I really really wish my hair would just grow blue. *grin*

Apple-kiwi? That sounds fascinating!

I knew you could bake cakes in jars, but I didn't know you could make them shelf-stable! The great sadness of my life today was that I had to chuck two pieces of pineapple-rum cake because they were getting mouldy. In jars, though...

I'm excited and hoping it turns out well.

Jars! It had never occurred to me until Robyn sent me that link and then it was like a choir of angels and a beam of light all shone upon me.
