Freewrite Day 473 Jam Tomorrow

in #esteem6 years ago

What could this phrase be about? Is “jam tomorrow” a thing I do not know about? Or is it just two random words @mariannewest came up with?

It makes me think of my mom who made strawberry jam each year the fruit came into season. Sometimes she would go to a U-Pick place and get them herself or just buy them from a stand on the street. Either way I wanted nothing to do with it.

I was sure not going to crawl around on the ground to pick strawberries. They are not on my list of favorite foods. They are sour and have seeds to get into your teeth. This is similar to nuts being added to smooth food, and that really bothers me.

And jam is also not on my list. If I want something like jam it is jelly instead. Jam is lumpy and non-spreadable. But I don’t normally want it anyway. I am not much for sweets unless it is chocolate. Picky, picky, picky.

So if my mom said, “I’m making jam tomorrow.” I would not want to be there. I can remember coring out the green part from an endless stock, and slicing the berries. Then there was some long cooking procedure after that. I think my brother may have taken more interest than me.

I know we always had jars of strawberry jam. Last season’s batch would not be gone before the new batch was made, but she made it anyway. The new jars went behind the old.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

I totally agree with you. I do not like small things in my food.. also not the peanuts pieces or other seeds. I do not like peanutbutter with those pieces in it either.

I do not know why people do that to food! Smooth food should be smooth!

Picking strawberries always meant chigger bites. Ugh!! Then came the snipping and rinsing. The seedy jam. Too sweet; I prefer the tang of red raspberry or cherry. Strawberry-Rhubarb pie. Ah, those good old days, when I could eat all my mom's garden delicacies, before I knew food allergies caused inflammation.... thanks for sharing your own memories and triggering mine. :)

So funny how we have these memories of old days. Thanks always to @mariannewest for bring them back. My mom was strawberry all the way!

I too have a list of "good" foods I can no longer eat. We are all so sensitive these days. So good to see you here @carolkean. Thank you for the visit and upvote :)

too funny! I like sweet and delicious Strawberries out of my garden. Actually, when I was little, my mom would always try to find the first ripe Strawberry for me for my birthday :)

Aw! More mom stories about this fruit. It seems to be in everyone's past. The seeds just drive me insane :)

i don't mind crunchy food - so I am okay with seeds of all kinds 😂

It's not the crunch - it's the obstruction in food that should be smooth lol.

Oh, your poor mom. All of that jam and you are not a fan. Well, that makes 2 of us. : )
