Today, I went with Jillene, Tina and Jean Hill to the Welfare Square Cannery to bottle honey. Oh, how I love honey. I eat it everyday. I went through a craving phase a couple of years ago where I craved it constantly. I didn't really want to eat it by the spoonful and that's just because I didn't want Ryan to think I was crazy. So,I had to find a "vessel" for it. I would put it on toast. Yummy. In fact, that sounds really good. I may be having some toast when I'm done with this.
I ran out of it about 1 week ago and have had to seriously restrain myself from running to the store and buying more. It would be silly to go pay $4.00 for a little bottle when I was going there today. It was easy work, I just had to screw the lids on the bottles as they rolled past on a conveyor belt, and the shift was only 1 hour. You are then able to purchase 2 cases (24 15.8 oz. bottles per, $57.50 a case, works out to $2.39 per bottle, not too shabby) and also whatever surplus things they have. Sadly, today they only had raspberry jam. Yes I bought a case of it as well, but I wish that they would have had more things. Jean bought my second case from me because I'm sure that Ryan would flip if he thought I actually intended to keep both of them. He thought that I was crazy for getting one and half of it is going to my mom. He obviously doesn't understand just how deep my love for honey is. I've already given away one of my 12 to Emily as payment for babysitting. We'll see just how long 11 bottles of honey will last me.

You make me laugh. I love reading your blog. You are very entertaining. :)
You and Landen are kindred spirits when it comes to honey. If you were to let him I know he could help you go through that case pretty quick. I should look into buying it cheaper because if we are ever out it is a very sad day in my house. He is that way with peanut butter to.
YEAH HONEY AND JAM!! I am glad we got in to do it. It was very rewarding to serve and bump up my food storage!
