This is far from every vent I could post about 9-1-1, but I'm glad it resonated! (And of course I ship buddie, I am a woman of taste)

I wish I were feeling better about 2025, but I'm going to keep doing my best to find joy, build community, and try to help people where I can.

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
