I’m a devil for raspberry jam. Especially when it’s homemade by Róisín O’Farrell. I got this jar of crimson ambrosia in return for some artist materials and I reckon I got a good deal. At the same instant, I discovered what a nanosecond is. A nanosecond is how long it takes a jar of homemade raspberry jam to disappear when introduced into the McSherry family  home. I’m bewildered at how I managed to paint this picture -I’m sure the jar was full when I started.
