I feel like rattlers could have been the inspiration for the first “Drumroll…Cymbal!”

She looks like, “I have to marry him now that he’s pregnant.”

Is it the North side? Maybe painted a different color?

OSHA regulations are written in blood (and military regs, for the same reason)

Oh please… Sure you get Vegas but you’re stuck with Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and both Dakotas! Plus a shitload of Mormons and desert. Take 'em and welcome. But I suggest you label them all “immigrants” and don’t allow them to vote.

Spicy mayo as a condiment, and looks like clams without the shells

That’s spicy mayo (mayo, Sriracha, lime)

That sounds delicious

Not to mention, all leftover pizza is good for breakfast but that would be extra good.

Because you’re not on the committee and you should be

So often these try to sneak by you at first. This one was obvious in the thumbnail.

And I still opened it just to get a better look.

Only if your boss can read

That’s a nice fucking website!

By the time a kid is out of car seats, much less sitting in the front seat, they’re old enough to remind the mom to wear hers.

Seatbelts have been a thing since I was a child and I’m old. The crash is on her, but the windshield’s on you.

No, in America we distinguish between “preserves” (berries left whole, except for those that fall apart by themselves, or big chunks of peach or whatnot) “jam” (fruit is mashed, usually has the seeds but can be pushed and scraped through a strainer to remove them, but the pulp remains part of the finished product) and “jelly” (fruit is either juiced and double-strained /filtered before cooking or afterwards, finished product is transparent).

Marmalade is different because the pith of citrus fruits turns bitter with cooking, so you have to pare off thin strips of rind (the colored skin) and then squeeze the juice, and discard all the pulp before adding the sugar and cooking.

I’m pretty sure those categories are legal, and probably include percentages of fruit to sugar and water for commercial products, because they’re consistent in labeling at the grocery store.

Edit to add, jello is clear but gelatin not pectin and usually artificial fruit flavor unless you make it yourself from juice.

Apple sauce is common here too but not used as a bread spread. Mint jelly is only used as a condiment for lamb afaik.

Okay that makes total sense then. The fruits you listed I have mostly seen as jam or marmalade or preserves rather than jelly.

As a person who doesn’t like grape seeds or squashy grapes I don’t think I’d like grape jam. I wonder if a winery with extra grape juice made the first grape jelly?

Concord grapes don’t make great wine, but their growers are probably doing better than the fine wineries right now with the wine glut and people pinching pennies with cheap food like PBJs for the kids.

I grew up in a strawberry town and make my own strawberry jam using my mom’s recipe. So even though the “iconic American PBJ” uses grape jelly we always had strawberry jam in ours.

Apple jelly is clear, and is the base for mint jelly, but I think maybe y’all use mint sauce instead?
