Inspired by mont_joye, (and the cheap good strawberries available months earlier than I'm used to) made jam this evening.
600g strawberries
400g sugar
~80-100ml lime juice
1tsp jamsetta
I'm not used to needing to use extra pectin, but I wasn't getting a set at all. Worried it'll be too solid - will see tomorrow.

I never thought I'd make it to 25.
I did fill in the 2014 in review at the end of 2014 - I think I was in Budapest at the time, and it was approximately Christmas. It didn't post, though, so I'll try again, but for 'partway through 2015'.

1. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?

Properly realising that my standards might be a ( Read more... ) -

Chocolate chip biscuits.
I used this recipe, but added chopped walnuts.
Next time, use more nut meal in place of wholemeal flour.

Due dates
I know it sounds ridiculous.
But for four subjects with mid-year assessments, I only asked for extra time for one! I just completed one of my end of year assignments by the due date. Yes, I've got extra time for the others, but that is on time for half the assessments this semester. Not sure I'd managed even one or two in the previous three years, ( Read more... ) -

I don't know what to say about life at the moment.
My finger joints are particularly bad, as are my shoulders/headaches, but I think I can attribute all that to stress.
Uni is awful at the moment, and I think that is the main problem. Two of my subjects are based around group work assessments, with six members per group. It's a lot of co-ordinating ( Read more... )
