conulyEva went out the other day with a cooking pot to gather mulberries. After an hour she came back in with a purple face. I saw her on the stairs and went "Oh, did you get a lot?" and she burst into tears.
Apparently, she wanted to collect them to make jelly. A fine idea (excepting the fact that we need pectin to make jelly, and without it the most we can do is syrup), but she accidentally ate all her mulberries and didn't put any in the pot! Whoops.
Poor Eva!
