Evening walk, started making tomato jam

Dear Friends,

In this evening, I walked for one mile distance in the park. It took me about 25 minutes. It was cloudy and likely to rain. There were fewer people in the park I think. Yesterday, it was raining and I was not able to go out for evening exercise.

Today,I tried to setup a web camera using ESP32 and OV7670 camera module but was not ok becasue I found that my ESP32 lacked PSRAM, which was required for Webcam operation. So, I have ordered one with 4MPSRAM. However, in the forum, I was recommended to use a webcam with ESP32-S3 microcontroller. And I found that it had 8MPSRAM. The one I ordered is as below.

And today evening, I started making tomato jam; first, I soaked them in lime water. It was a traditional way of improving the jam texture. It is said calcium ions from the lime water react with pectin in the fruits to form calcium pectate, a strong gel network. And that can help the tomato pieces stay firm and intact during cooking, preventing them from turning mushy (according to DeepSeek).

Those were some of the activities for today.
