total: $69
wow, a whole dollar under. but, i'll take it.  

and now my new favorite thing is rhubarb and strawberry compote over homemade yellow cake.
delicious!!!!

i also plan on freezing some of both for future use over pancakes, or swirled into homemade ice cream, as soon as i allow myself that many carbs again. yes, once again, i am trying to cut down on the carbs. which, for me, really means cutting out all the delicious yummy desert treats. 'cus i refuse, refuse i say, to give up  raw milk in morning lattes and my nightly beer. so, ta ta for now lovely sweets. we'll meet again soon.

p.s. someday, i will get some recipes and food pixs posted..... someday.
