what a way to spend a morning

[gnuuser]

spending this glorious autumn day in my kitchen making jams and jellies
making wild apple jelly today and the kitchen smells heavenly!
my neighbor lad picked the apples for me (hes a great kid who's always helpful) and i take him fishing a lot!

curiously some of the kids in my neighborhood want to learn cooking and canning and are always asking me to teach them!:beatnik2:
believe me for a long time most kids didn't want anything to do with a kitchen, so its kind of a nice surprise.

Should have noted that you were in the states, Carp fishing is my passion

we fish carp here to but its hard to find anyone who knows how to prepare them for eating properly and those who do wont tell anyone how they do it
(like it some carefully guarded secret)
a shame too because its not uncommon to see carp ranging from 1.5 meters to 3 meters in size
in some of the rivers

True that. I love my carp and have enjoyed taking my lads fishing for the first time this year.
It really is a cultural thing though. The Polish have decimated a lot of ponds over our way with their bankside BBQs, they don't see anything wrong with it. I think we are one of the few countries that doesn't eat carp though.... I know in Australia they are regarded as vermin and cleared from rivers with electrofishing.
