Terms like "domestic goddess" and "home engineer" demean us all. It's like the old way of calling a female doctor a "lady doctor" instead of just "doctor". <br /><br />I'm a post modernist and I prefer to name things what they really are. I had a real problem when I first returned to my home calling myself a housewife, but that is what I am and now I proudly call myself that. I don't care that it's old fashioned, until we work out an accurate name, that's what I'll be.<br /><br />2. Jam, then preserve it in a water bath.
