Does home made grape jelly taste like grapes? Because that stuff I buy at the store certainly does not.

c said...

Wait, I'm sorry, but you seem to have placed My Ewan McGregor's name on your list of celebrity crushes.

Heather said...

McEtcher..grape jelly tastes like...grape jelly. When its made from Concorde grapes it actually looks like Grape jelly. Maybe a bit more tart (in a good way) than Smuckers or Welches...but very much the same. Thats the gratifying thing about making grape-jelly. You can exclaim "It actually tastes lik grape jelly!"

Misfit:
meeeooowwwww! Hisssssss! And the nice thing, is that I couldnt find a silly picture of him...figures!

Fisherman sweaters, eh? I'm still working on scarves.

What kind of tattoo would you get?

Cheryl said...

I really like the gourmet meal idea... gave me a good giggle. And I'm waiting to hear from Eric.

A palm tree? Samsaramom! A palm tree! You should visit Europe. There's giant palm trees five minutes away in the Botanic Gardens. Then again, I'd like to see wild animals in Canada. But a palm tree? Is it cold there? Hotboy

Ukulele is easier to learn - only 4 strings.

I would love to be able to knit. It seems so mysterious.

Colons and semi colons - if you figure them out please explain it to me.

Attractive in a male. What a shame we're both shackled already, because that man is me, if you ignore my shoes and scars.

HB - there's wild animals in Princes St most nights of the week.

MC Etcher said...

I remember you mentioning Palm Trees before, that you wanted to touch one.

They're very prickly! Not friendly tree bark. So someday when you have the change, touch gently.

I meant to say, "when you have the chance"
