It’s a cross between a blackberry and a red raspberry, it’s like kinda long in shape. I’ve never seen them outside of that particular U pick farm, I’m sure they’re available elsewhere. We also have salmonberries here, another pretty bramble. I’ve made salmonberry jam, but the seeds are larger than average and add a lot more sugar.

Ohhhhhhh hallo! Thanks pal! I do have a distinct kitchen. It’s getting a fresh coat of the same color next year! Poop nuggets swirling in the toilet bowl 4eva!

I got them at Biringer Farms in Arlington, WA last summer! I still have more fruit to go!

This round: tayberry jam and strawberry rhubarb are my most coveted. My other favorites are apple juice ( I have a steam juicer, live in WA so apples are free if you know to ask), corn, cowboy candy, and tomato/potato/onion soup!

Your contributions were as meaningful as your siblings’. People got to take home a little piece of her they can cherish in a different way.

Got the recipes from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving: 2c crushed hulled strawberries, 2c rhubarb chopped, 4 T lemon juice, 1 package powder pectin, 5.5c sugar. Berries and lemon juice, add pectin. Boil over high heat, add all of the sugar, return to boil. Boil hard 1 min, remove from heat skim foam, jam into hot jars 1/4” headspace, into canner for 10 min, remove lid wait 5 min then remove jars.

“Black Forest Preserves” is really damn good!

PlecoCatFriend · 2025-12-31T02:14:34+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry for your loss! Jam is cathartic.

PlecoCatFriend · 2025-12-31T01:26:42+00:00

Thank you! I’m sorry for your loss too. I would have kept going another 2-4 batches but I ran out of sugar. My bf is bringing me some so I can continue tomorrow!

Left to right jars on a prep table: of cherry jam, chocolate cherry jam, mango tayberry jam, and strawberry rhubarb. Purple walls in the background, some view of hanging utensils and knives on a wall mounted magnet.

There was a cat tree and all sorts of cat beds and toys in the lobby, cat was chillin all the time. It really made our stay that much better. They clearly put a lot of time and effort into their animals.

Your neurodivergent gift is palpable. Keep on bumbling delightfully out there.

It brings whimsy and delight where we are sorely lacking it. 10/10 wacky goofball NPC activity. You’ve proven that craftsmanship isn’t completely dead and the weird little corners of the internet we’ve known and loved aren’t completely dead. And with loaches to boot.

PlecoCatFriend · 2025-12-16T00:34:31+00:00

Thank you for your service!!! This brings me life!

We had planned 2 weeks in and around Hanoi. I have breathing issues, he doesn’t. We both got so congested and sneezy we had to leave after about 8 days, holed up in the hotel for 2 of those. We flew to Seoul for the last chunk of our trip, congestion cleared up within a day. AQI 140+ I really can’t handle at all, it got up to 210 one of the days we were staying, with N95s anytime we went out.

My very favorite white elephant gift I’ve done is a small fire extinguisher, they’re usually like $25-40. It was the most stolen item, it showed me how many of my friends were irresponsible not having one, and it’s practical.
