This spring/summer, I’ve been mentoring my third graduate student and she has been so fun to have as my shadow.  She’s very smart, intuitive, calm, and eager to learn.  She also grew up in Sonoma County where her family still resides and grows fresh fruits and veggies.  On Monday morning, I found this jar of preserves on my desk at work and it turns out that she made it with her mom over the weekend.  And I got one!!  The presentation is so simple and yet it’s so pretty too.  I finally opened it today to have a little taste and WOW.  It was so yummy and I can’t wait to make a PB&J sammich tomorrow morning.
