Shopping with Alex ( 1 )  Hi ! I am Alex. I am typing this for Bret he is not feeling good. My English and spelling is not best but Bret needed help. We went shopping. Found scarf to go with leather Jacket and match car. I drove the Mercedes Benz; as pretty as my BMW. Last night we ,made Watermelon Jelly ! I NEVER did that before. I try to do Bret's recipe.  Pealed and cut watermelon from store.  Watermelon not acidic enough for jelly. Need to add two oranges.  Juice oranges put pulp with watermelon in blender.  Strain mix through cullender with cloth.  You need sugar and SURE JELL  Sugar and SURE JELL will NOT mix have to add cold juice and stir.  You need 1cup of sugar for every cup of juice.  We have 32 oz. of juice... 4cups of sugar. |

Good work Alex. That jelly looks like it is going to be a real hit. I have never tired making jelly, but I can tell from the recipe that I shouldn't be eating it. Too much sugar for a diabetic. I have been bad with the Christmas candy and my BS levels are high. The way I see it, once a year can't be that bad. I have gained 12 lb over the holidays. Not good.

Sorry to hear that Bret is not feeling well. Tell him Hi from Roger and I hope that he feels better soon. I can understand what he is going through with the chemo treatments.
