Now that our hot and busy weekend is over I spent much of today baking and cooking. I love baking - cakes, crisps, brownies, all kinds of yummies. The simple pleasure of measuring, mixing and putting something in the oven is a real treasure for me. I made a batch of fudge brownies for DD's brownie pot luck, also the kids favorite treat. I also made extra so we could enjoy them with the fresh strawberries and homemade chocolate syrup. Yum!

I love to use my crockpot, especially when the weather gets warmer. I made some crockpot pork chops for DH's lunch with leftovers for tomorrow's dinner. They are delicious, especially with quinoa and a salad. We are all ready for dinner tomorrow.

Today was my first attempt at Rhubarb Jam. It actually turned out pretty tasty. It took longer than I expected for the rhubarb to simmer down to mush but it did turn a lovely ruby red. I couldn't find any of my diamond "quilted" jelly jars so I had to use a plastic freezer container. I need to find those jelly jars since I still have at least three more batches of jam/jelly to make. It is lovely on scones, English muffins and toast. We're going to try it on ice cream for dessert tomorrow. Should be delish.
