On April 16, I decided to make strawberry freezer jam. I was craving time in the kitchen and, for some reason, jam. I've never made jam before but I feel like it's something I'm supposed to be able to do, ya know? Am I alone in that?
I went to the farmer's market to buy strawberries and then I spent all day coaxing those strawberries into the darling little jars. I took a lot of photos because I really meant to blog about the whole thing. Darn.
The next day I made pizza dough from scratch and baked some pizzas on my stone.
Jill and I visited the Cherry Blossoms. There were A LOT of people trying to take pictures. It's definitely a beautiful spot for a family photo, but next spring I'll let you in on what I think is the best kept secret location for pictures along the Potomac. Get excited.
High: On April 16th I secured my visa at the Brazilian embassy!
Low: On April 17th I had to visit traffic court for a speeding ticket. The reckless driving charges were dismissed (a fact Ken seems to ignore whenever he wants to insult my driving record).
Ken came to DC after finals and we spent more time around the city.
At the end of the month, I entered a cupcake competition at work, made Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes and WON best taking cupcake! Lucky me! Recipe and recap here.
I would link to the other posts I made in April, but there are none. Oops!
