The end of an era


Do you know what this means?

This was my last jar of mayonnaise. The one that I bought moving in to get us by. The one that I bought in the smallest jar they had so that we would use it up quicker.

The only mayonnaise I've ever known. (Ahhh, Best Foods/Hellmans I love you so. Why do you have to be made with rancid oils that aren't good for us?)

Remember back, oh, early January with all our New Years resolutions? I'd resolved then to try to make some lacto-fermented condiments this year. The ones we really use, like ketchup and mayonnaise. And then all craziness ensued with a loss of job, gypsy-living for five months, a new baby, a new job in a new state in a new house.

And now, we've just barely had a chance to catch our breath. And that house has an empty jar of mayonnaise. It's time for a New Resolution. A Mayonnaise Resolution.

Here we go . . .

I so enjoy these little glimpses of your life. :>) Good luck on this newest venture - can't wait to hear how it goes!

As for us, we tried camping last night. It could have been worse, but it'll be a while before we go again - and it'll be based on our terms and schedule . . . not Jim's extended family's . . .
