a couple of weekends ago i got together with my friend sarah, who used to be my manager back in the day at barnes and noble. sarah is awesome! she's a totally fun girl who is into canning and cooking! she also has her own blog, which she is much better keeping up with than i am with mine!
but i hadn't seen sarah in over 10 years since i quit b&n. we've been friends on the facebooks and have kept in touch and we both thought that having a canning trade was a good way to get together for lunch, catch up and TRADE FOOD WE HAVE CANNED! i just started canning this year, so i didn't have much of a selection to give her so i gave her 2 jars of marinated veggies (they're small jars!), a jar of blueberry jam and a jar of grapefruit blackberry honey jelly.
we both showed up at blue c sushi with gift bags of jars!
she gave me pear butter, rhubarb ginger jam and peach rosemary jam.
i had a great time at lunch and found out that sarah and i have lots more in common than i thought. we'll be organizing a game night to get together and start learning how to play mah-jongg! i'm so excited! and about once a year i go to eat sushi at blue c. i think it's such a funny way place to eat sushi. it's one of those conveyor belt sushi places.
i decided i wanted to try the peach rosemary jam with some veggies on pork, so i baked the chops with the jam and sweet onions and tomatoes and put it on rice. IT WAS DELICIOUS!
sarah...you totally have to try your jam with some kind of meat. it was such a good combination of sweet and savory! you did a great job on the jam...i'm gonna have to make some next year!
i'm really looking forward to hanging out with sarah again for some photography or games! YAY! let winter begin!!
