Today we bought blackberry jelly in a really cool cup (with a lid). It's like a mason jar with a handle. However, other than toast and bread related items, I am not sure what to do with it. I was thinking I should try to make jelly filled donuts with it or thumb print cookies. Any one have any other uses for it?
Also, we live in a small town but we have never thought too much of it. We don't live in the hicks or anything. We have a Walmart and grocery store with a few restaurants and some other things like Ace Hardware and car dealerships. Then today we saw a good deal on a couple things at the big chain grocery store in a nearby (bigger) city. We were SHOCKED at how big it was! Before we had moved here, we had been to this specific grocery store before and it was no big deal but now we are realizing just how small our town is. The other day, I had gone into our grocery store looking for cream of shrimp condensed soup for a recipe but our store didn't carry it. We didn't think too much of it but today when we were at the chain store, we found it right away! Along with a bunch of other things that we forget even existed. Our store has a half of a freezer door of pizza roll products and this one had FOUR WHOLE DOORS! This probably doesn't seem like such a big deal to most you and you took the convenience of it for granted but sometimes you have to step back and realize how much you have and how easy it is to get your every whim fulfilled. I'm not going to rant about third world countries and hunger problems and everything but there is definitely a big difference in all aspects of life between big cities and small towns. Okay enough ranting but I just had blog about it because I was just so shocked at how much things have changed since we moved to the small town.
Any comments? Do you guys live in big cities or can you relate to my small town?
