Report from South Kona

First taste of the home made jam . Came out wonderful , almost like Apricot , with a little less tang .

Harvested just after filming , large amount of a variety of basil , made a very nice pesto. Small amount of the first green beans , a few pea pods and pineapple sage. The left over herbs , that were not used in the pesto, are all drying for future use .

Not perfect , but I can slice some up.

Oatmeal Cookies , OK made a little experiment , one with just raisins . That the sugar was cut back by a third and the butter also. The conclusion , crumbly and not the best , ok for the morning . Next chocolate chips , semi sweet , full sugar ( brown only ) and a few spoon fulls of chocolate powder . The truth I was shaking the can to loosen it up and a bit more than planned went in. A little more butter and they came out very good , a extra amount of chocolate chips and they were real cookies. If you are making cookies then make cookies .

PS Kyle thought they looked like cow patties.
