[Sca-cooks] an interesting semi-disaster

[Huette von Ahrens]

Gee, I thought it only got hot in Oregon whenever
I visited ...

It has been almost as hot here.  My week hasn't
been good.  I have been invaded my hundreds of
ants and my two year old Maytag freezer died.
The Maytag repairman had to come out twice before
it got fixed.  He didn't seem lonely or bored to
me ...

So I have been loading a lot of semi-frozen food
into ice chests and then reloading said food
back into now working freezer.  I am totally
exhausted and the heat hasn't helped any.

I have never made sekanjabin candy.  Do you want
to save said candy?  Or just remove it from the
bottle?
