This is the stuff I come to the Internet for!

Also all dog beautiful

Paint it 🌈

I’d have paid extra for that

I use the unscented kind

Now my toe is reaching towards the door stopper boiiinnnnngg! Humans and cats of any gender enjoy springs

Donald wouldn’t think twice about lying, and this Congress would let him. If we can’t flip Congress in the midterms there’s no point to that farce.

More likely he and his fiancée are being controlled by the older adults, who look like they’re discussing the real estate transaction this marriage will consummate.

It’s hard to “do good” while also making a profit. But it’s a little easier to not be evil, not support evil, and still be responsible about earning enough to support yourself when you can’t work (now or when you’re old) or have an unexpected need for cash. For instance there are socially responsible stock-market funds that exclude the worst companies, but you’ll want to check for your priorities like climate or worker exploitation because they vary in what they make compromises on.

Age is missing the point, she was HUNGRY! 🥺

Floof makes it trickier but I’d guess 4 months. And I would just celebrate her Gotcha Day.

She’s beautiful in all her pictures of course

No, in America we distinguish between “preserves” (berries left whole, except for those that fall apart by themselves, or big chunks of peach or whatnot) “jam” (fruit is mashed, usually has the seeds but can be pushed and scraped through a strainer to remove them, but the pulp remains part of the finished product) and “jelly” (fruit is either juiced and double-strained /filtered before cooking or afterwards, finished product is transparent).

Marmalade is different because the pith of citrus fruits turns bitter with cooking, so you have to pare off thin strips of rind (the colored skin) and then squeeze the juice, and discard all the pulp before adding the sugar and cooking.

I’m pretty sure those categories are legal, and probably include percentages of fruit to sugar and water for commercial products, because they’re consistent in labeling at the grocery store.

Edit to add, jello is clear but gelatin not pectin and usually artificial fruit flavor unless you make it yourself from juice.

You’ll have to include Saratoga. Jean Harlow was dying/died of kidney failure during filming. See if you can spot the doubles they used to finish the film.

Watch Ma Rainey. Damn fine film.

A ferry or a yacht?

Apple sauce is common here too but not used as a bread spread. Mint jelly is only used as a condiment for lamb afaik.

Okay that makes total sense then. The fruits you listed I have mostly seen as jam or marmalade or preserves rather than jelly.

As a person who doesn’t like grape seeds or squashy grapes I don’t think I’d like grape jam. I wonder if a winery with extra grape juice made the first grape jelly?

Concord grapes don’t make great wine, but their growers are probably doing better than the fine wineries right now with the wine glut and people pinching pennies with cheap food like PBJs for the kids.

I grew up in a strawberry town and make my own strawberry jam using my mom’s recipe. So even though the “iconic American PBJ” uses grape jelly we always had strawberry jam in ours.

Is Peter Dinklage not a human? What about Linda Hunt?

Apple jelly is clear, and is the base for mint jelly, but I think maybe y’all use mint sauce instead?

Oof I typed a response with 3 recipe links and lost it so I’ll just say jelly is clear bc juice, jam is opaque bc fruit
