I am very proud of this bathroom but I will never wallpaper again. (We also just finished tiling the floors - they were carpeted when we moved in 🤢.)

From my friend Lia. Merry Christmas!

Jamvent Day 7: Wild Blueberry - Maple Syrup Spread. This was good! I only ate about a third of it because I want to try it on the sourdough blueberry pancakes we have in the freezer. Reserving my rating for now.

Jamvent Day 6 (late nite edition): Rhubarb - Strawberry Spread. Meh. 3/5

Jamvent Day 5: Purple Fig - Cinnamon Spread. Wow! A nearly perfect jam. Had an unpleasant sensory experience with a seed or something but the taste was phenomenal. Ate on a brioche bun from On the Rise. 4.75/5

Jamvent Day 4: Orange-Yuzu-Grapefruit Spread. This was very close to being excellent! Wish it had been what it wanted to be: marmalade. I'm also not a huge citrus girly so take that under advisement. 3.5/5

Jamvent Day 3: Apple-Quince-Honey Spread. Ok, that's enough quince now, Bonne Maman. This is... fine. A little too sweet for me. The spread had chunks of apple, which honestly ruined the spreading experience. Ate this on toasted sourdough. 2/5

Jamvent Day 2: Guava spread. Another very strong spread! Gets a rating boost because it actually evokes fruit and not just "jam." Ate this one on sourdough bread from On the Rise. 4.5/5

Jamvent Day 1: Quince spread. This was good! I don't really know what quince is supposed to taste like so it mostly tasted like... jam. Ate it on homemade challah. 4/5

It is time.
