Aunty Lisa posted a blog postI'm back! Turning Lemons into Lemonade!
I have so much to do and so many places to go each day. But, my car thought something different. Last night while driving the 20plus miles home from my son's soccer practice, my car battery light came on. After taking a look and even purchasing a new car battery, the light was still on. I was going to have breakfast with three of my very dear friends, but instead, I had to take my car into the shop and we hope that our light mystery will be solved or at least, explained. So here I am…See More
Aunty Lisa posted a blog postMore and More Pineapple
March 28 and March 29, 2011 We survived our massive jamming session on Saturday! It took us 9 people and 10 hours but we cut up 84 pineapples and made over 240 little jars of jam. But, Lisa's grandmother's recipe said that one pineapple would yield 3 jars, but it was more like 6!!!!! We had so much pineapple left over that it was ridiculous!!! What to do? What to do? March 28's gift: I made Pineapple Coconut Creme Cake and brought it for my Period 1 and Period 3 students!!! They loved it and…See More

Aunty Lisa posted a blog postWhat's Certo???
March 25, 2011: I have never heard of this product before, but as we are going to attempt to make over 200 + jars of pineapple jam today, I had to find out. My best friend Lisa is getting married in two months and she really wants to make jam from her grandmother's recipe as the favors!!! We are going to be processing 84 fresh pineapples! Yikes! Everyone who is going to help are jamming virgins!!! Lisa's sister Laurie purchased the Certo from the commissary, however, she bought only half the…See More

Each project had to impact the community in some way be it: Working on the Freshman 15,… Continue
