Productive weekend at home:
Jun. 15th, 2009 01:34 pmFirst trip to the Union Square Greenmarket for the season - check
Air conditioner installed in Not So Secret Hideawy - check
Cable televison disconnected (keeping cable modem) - check
Sweeping and swiffering behind bits of furniture that only get moved twice a year - check
Other random bits of housework - check
Small batches of strawberry rhubarb preserves, strawberry balsamic preserves, and pickled asparagus made and canned - check
Cream of asparagus soup made with leftover asparagus and buttermilk lurking in the fridge - check
The soup was quite good with some adjustments to the recipe I pulled off the web. The balsamic strawberries are crack and I'll be hard pressed to not just eat them all with a spoon. The strawberry rhubarb preserves are very nice in oatmeal indeed. Sadly, the pickled asparagus didn't seal properly and looks like it got over done when I processed it a second time. I'll still let them sit for the suggested 4 weeks and see if the flavor is any good, even if the texture is probably mushy.
