hi everyone!
the good news…here is the recipe for the jam squares i made last week…(see last week’s blog)…
ingredients:
2 cups sugar
5 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tarter
1lbs unsalted butter (4 sticks of butter…melted)
5 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 jars all fruit jam- i used strawberry but the recipe calls for apricot and raspberry.
pre heat oven to 350 degrees f.
combine the sugar, flour, cream of tartar and melted butter.
add the egg yolks and vanilla extract and mix well with your hands.
take half the batter and press it into a parchment paper lined jelly roll pan…(you can use a rolling pin or your hands.. i used my hands).
spread whatever jam you are using on the batter (if using two types do half and half).
take the other half of the batter and sprinkle it over the top of the jam…so it resembles crumbs on top. (look at last week’s blog to see what it looks like.)
bake for about 1 hour…cool completely and cut into squares.
now for the bad news…NOT REALLY BAD NEWS! but
alexis and i are off this week…this is your advanced notice… hope it’s satisfactory.
i will do my best to blog….but not making any promises.
xoxo

hope youre alright. will miss you guys this week. 🙁 hope paulie has done his homework and has a decent lineup of best of shows. get someof the early shows from the first year. come on. emily couldnt have lost them all.
Looking forward to your return! Have a great week.
Ugh!! What’s a fan to do? I guess I’ll have to get a life. Maybe I’ll spend some time baking cookies once my Martha Stewart’s Cookies book arrives. Enjoy your time off.
Thanks for the heads up. Now I can go on that trip to Europe after all. Hope you have a good week. TO: all the haters – Quit bitching, they’ll be back soon enough!
Everybody is off this week, so of course you guys should be off, too. Have a great break!
Jen, Thanks for the 411 on your week off! And you will be missed more than you know. It’s funny how two women talking on the radio affect so many people, but it’s a sign of how starved we (the listening audience) are for “Reality Radio”, meaning there is no fake crap, annoying noises, canned laughter, etc. Enjoy your week with the family!
My family and I will be sad that we won’t have you guys around this week. I now have everyone in the family with a sirius radio set and they listen (sometimes they call in). I hope the reasons for not being on are good and not bad ones (you know illness, getting fired or whatever). Can you email me when you get back on? Miss you both (yes even Alexis). Is Paulie still around? Billie Joel playing in Conn.
I’m going to go jump off the top of my car. Happy you are on Spring Break 🙂 Sad and selfishly bummed that you won’t be here! Maybe I’ll get more work done at the office. Have a good week Jen!
Off this week @#*! now my day is ruined! Just kidding…Appreciate the heads up hope & hope you are enjoying the time off.
Thanks for the advance notice, greatly appreciated. Enjoy your time off. Thanks for all the baking pics and ideas.
BLOOOOGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED YOU GUYS.. X
I really liked the show when I first got Sirius – in fact you were the reason I got Sirius in the first place in January. Of course you are entitled to a vacation/s but two in one month is sort of annoying. I think you’re going to lose a lot of listeners if this happens regularly.
Thanks for the notice Jen.
Have a fun week.
well thanks for heads up, it’s 4:50, I just tuned in Sirius 112 and decided check your blog – now at least I won’t be disappointed at 5.
btw – there’s something so boring on the MS channel right now called Design Trends with Gael Towey. I think Martha Stewart Radio should take a cue from Howard and just run your show over and over!
Have a great vacation! Looking forward to hear about your travels and your time off!
Hi Jennifer
Thanks for the heads up. I can appreciate that you and Alexis are on vacation. Have fun and don’t bake too much. I have my new cookie book, I will also be baking like a crazy person.
Noooooo! Okay.
xkb
hope everything is ok. not like you two to take off so soon again.
I’m NOT a hater but a loyal listener who is disappointed with the frequent vacations and random days off. Not that others in the industry don’t have this privilege but they typically work for many years to get to that point. The heads up helped but I’d prefer to hear it on air and even enjoy hearing about vacation planning, etc on air.
4 minute “breaks” during each 15 minutes of the show, now 2 vacations in one month…will it ever stop? your loyal fans are getting withdrawal symptoms.
YAY!!!!!!!
Jennifer,
Thank you taking the time to post the jam squares recipe. No advance warning on the radio show needed! If you’re on, you’re on, if not so be it! People need to not worry about the small stuff. Thanks again for the recipe! Have a good break!
you are as bad a congress they break all the time to and never get anything done,but its great for your childern thats A GOOD THING see ya K.A.
I am fortunate to be able to take a lot of vacation time. So my attitude is take all the time you can. I am just glad that Paulie has picked different shows everyday so far. Good Job. My only request would be to choose some early shows. I’ve listened since around Dec 05. So the first couple of months would be great to hear. Jennifer I hope you are haveing a great week off.
You people complaining about them taking too much time off need to grow the F up!! If you can’t find anything else to listen to for 5 days on another one of the 130 channels of Sirius, you have major issues and need some sort of therapy. I hope you can get a life and leave your house…do something productive for Christ’s sake! I hope you don’t become embedded in your couch and have to have it surgically removed. A-holes.
P.S….I love the cookie recipe book 😉
jennifer, someone told you last week that you sound like Sandy Gluck (sp) and I hate to tell you but you do, especially when you say the phone number to call in. but here’s the good news… she sounds much older than you ,she’s very boring and sing songy (is that a word?). You and Alexis do a great job of keeping your listeners attention. Sandy puts me to sleep.
We have lives, moron. That’s why we have long commutes from work. Our preference is a fresh Whatever, over the hundreds of other choices.
Suggestion while they’re away…listen to Jay Thomas on Sirius Stars – 102, 3-6 ET, 12-3PT. You’ll thank me later.
It’s not like we can do anything about you taking vacation so enjoy the time off!
Nice work getting a job that allows you to do what you love AND spend time with your precious family. At the end of the day, loyal listeners are great, but mutual love and respect with your children is the ultimate!! Enjoy those cuties! Now, I just made the blondies – omg – want to eat them all now!!! thanks for the inspiration!
