Oct. 28, 2002 Making Jelly I made some pomegranate jelly, after all the mess of squeezing the juice out of the pomegranates, I now have to stand and stir. Jill had left the kids and walked down to her house for some more jars... I had 2 year old Max wanting me to turn on power rangers, me having to stir the jelly for 2 minutes without stopping. I keep looking down at him as he is hanging on the back of my leg, waiting for him to sink some little teeth into me, if I don't get the power rangers on quick. I have jelly on my feet, all over my shirt, all over the stove, hanging from the cupboards, it seems to splash as you stir it. It has to boil at a rolling boil for 2 minutes. My fingers have burn spots where the jelly splashed out of the pot and on to my fingers as I am stirring. Why can't they make a longer handled spoon for this? The cat is licking the jelly from my bare toes as I am stirring, I am kicking at it to stop..5 year old .Alix is wanting to know where the little scissors are...what is she cutting. ??? I am yelling for Grandpa to see what she wants to cut and to push in the Power Rangers on the VCR for Max, but It seems he has left the house for a moment....(very convenient). while outside, he shot a hole in the railing of the deck aiming at a turkey. He was going to shoot between the railings, but he forgot that the pattern for a shotgun shell is a little wider than between the rails. I am so confined to the stove with this jelly that I don't even know if I'll have a house left when I am finished. I think 4 cases of Jelly should be enough, so I think I am done. Now I have to go inspect the house to see if it's all there.
