    It's true.
    This year, for the first time, I tried a dessert - a pie with a jam from green pine cones.

    If anyone is interested in the recipe for this jam:
    Ingredients:
    1 kg of pine cones, 1 kg of sugar, 1 liter of water.
    Recipe:
    Wash young pine cones.
    Soak the cones for 12 hours in cold water so that it covers them completely.
    Then ыeparate the water from the cones, add sugar to it and boil the syrup. Put the cones in the syrup, put on the fire, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, removing the foam. Remove from heat and leave to cool - for 12 hours. Repeat cooking 3 more times.
    The result is a dark jam of pine cones with a characteristic coniferous aroma.

    What do you mean by the coniferous water being angry? (I suspect the spellchecking feature has attacked.)

    Yes, it was auto-correction - I did not do not notice this error.
    Thank you!

    Ohhh, cold water. I get it now. Getting put into cold water makes me angry, too.

    My name is Tyler and I am a 31 year old aspiring writer. I absolutely love both sci-fi and fantasy writing although I have more recently grown fond of non-fiction motivational stories and memoirs. I am constantly day dreaming epic fantasy worlds and far distant space opera plots that I feel I should capture and put to pen. I have always been a reader and always admired the idea of being a writer but have never given myself a fair shot at it. Now is the time I feel that I only owe it to myself to give writing an earnest effort and see what I can accomplish. I appreciate any help this community can offer me and look forward to meeting other aspiring and established writers.

    I'm 33 year old female. Just got into writing again after serval years. I've been practicing by writing fanfics for a awhile. I would love to write a romance/erotica novel.

    I am a 20 year old girl. I like to write fantasy and adventure, using common tropes but with a twist.

    Hi! New member and happy to be here. I write contemporary, character-driven horror. Presumptuously, I’ll put myself in the same category as Nathan Ballingrud. I’m prepping a three story time travel anthology for a KDP release later this year, and halfway through a novel I started in July 2020. Previously published by Marvel Comics. I’m here to meet new buddies who like to write and who have gone through the KDP adventure.
