174/365 More time in the kitchen

I don't know how it is in your house, but at mine, we spend a huge amount of time in the kitchen.

Whether we're eating (of course), reading the paper, sitting around talking, doing homework, you name it -- it seems to happen in the kitchen.

This week, the grapes fully ripened, and Mom made homemade jam. In this photo she's going through the tedious steps of washing them and separating the skins from the pulp.

Tedious but oh so worth it.
Camera: Canon 40D 1/125s, f/4.0 at ISO 1000 under fluorescent and incandescent lighting.
