Spending

December 6th, 2017 at 01:05 pm

Yesterday was a big spending day. The dentist cost $282. They could not use the x-rays from my former dentist, as they were sent in a format they couldn't open. They were more than a year old, anyway. The good news is that my teeth are in great shape -- no issues, nothing to watch. I like my new dentist, too.

Then I spent $286 on Amazon gifts. My goal was to stay under $300 and to make equitable selections for the four people on my list. They should all be delivered on December 13. I made a note to stay home that day and watch for delivery -- I'm not giving them up to a porch pirate!

I also got a haircut for $17.

I still have a bit of shopping to do for the gathering on December 16. Gifts can be modest. I'm planning to make cookies. I'm also thinking of making jam, since I have some cute little jars. I haven't done it in a long time. I'm think about marmalade, actually -- PS's comment about looking for marmalade with real rinds in it got me thinking. Has anyone made marmalade? I never have, but it is surely no more difficult than other jams, right?

    I've not made marmalade, but I imagine it can't be any harder than jelly. Hope yours is a success!

    Glad you like your new dentist. That means a lot when you have someone you have to see.

    I have made marmalade. I use a recipe from the BBC site. I'm thinking about something called Christmas jam--with frozen strawberries and cranberries. Anyone made that one?
