Hey if anybody feels like being a nice person, Alyce (as in alyceinwonderland) is going through a really tough time right now, and im sure most of you remember her when she posted a lot in here, and would be willing to cheer her up if you can.
also I was being silly. I talked to Loom on AIM earlier and he was talking about how his apartment was empty except for a small table and his laptop and a chair I assume
hahaha, I just watched that guy make a very "simple" cake 2 weeks ago, and it looked like the biggest pain in the ass. I'd actually never seen him before then...he seems pretty serious and particular about how he makes stuff.
And yeah, I sterilize the jars and the lids, but I don't have any fancy jar tongs or a jar crate or a giant sterilizing boiler pot. I just fill the jars with boiling water (after washing them) and let them sit for a few minutes, and put the lids in a shallow pan and pour boiling water over them, and let those sit, too. I do that about 10 minutes before I'm expecting the jam to be finished. I've heard that you're also supposed to immediately let the filled containers sit in boiling water for another few minutes, but I skip that step. If I wanted to keep the jam for 6+ months, though, I'd probably do that. All the jam I make gets eaten by myself (and the people I give it to) within a month or two, usually.
Honestly the only pain-in-the-ass thing is cleaning up everything, because cool'd jam is sticky and clings to everything, and is a pain to wash. Aside from the post-jam work, though, it's incredibly simple.
Maximas, if you spoiler it, the image still loads in and stays in the cache, and I like being able to look at this thread at work, so could you link it, dude?

Not with my style. I just walk in while unbuckling my belt and say, "Bed. Now."

Everybody gets some deliciousness, except for Cake.
(I think that will be my next jammin' endeavor. I will let you know if I ever make any apple butter).
