DH's fixing abilities have always helped us make it, since we've never had a lot of money. He is so talented in so many things, including electricity, that it is a huge help. He is showing his age now, and just can't hold out for some jobs, but I do appreciate his abilities. DS1 got some of his talent, but DS2 is a whiz at so much, just like his father.

Thank you.

My DS will only eat Peter Pan PB. Back when the recall happened she had probably 25 jars of PP PB. Took the lids off, mailed them in for refund, covered her jars somehow, old lids maybe, and ate it far past the use by date. She is so picky, if it tasted even a little old she would never have eaten it. She is a risk taker, but her taste buds would not have let her eat old tasting stuff.

I have not been able to find any wipes with bleach. Even Clorox wipes proudly display "contains no Bleach" on the label.

Best wishes to you. I think of England often, with all that is going on there. My ancestors were English.

What are you canning today? Part 8
Virginia replied to Darlene's topic in In The Kitchen-The Heart Of Our Home
White potatoes, qts and pints. We bought 50 lbs for $5. -
We have a wonderful Nurse Pract. who attends our Church. She is a hugger and greets everyone. Today she was doing the "fist bump" to everyone and saying no more handshaking. She even went to the teenagers. They got a kick out of it, but she seemed very serious to me.

Thanks, DH is a big fan of the Frosty. I'll have to get him this.

Are you hardheaded? Did save your pretty face though.

So 10 minutes of simmering are going to be a problem, when some things process in a pressure canner for 1 1/2 hours. Have to wonder?
-
Robie, you are soooo bad.

me, too

We don't eat mushrooms, so I never checked on that. Good luck.

I should have said "at least as long as the onion time". If you add onions to something other than green beans, use the time for whatever is the longest requirement.
-
Keep waiting for Violet to answer. Per a local county agent, you can do the onions addition, just process for the time for onions. If I remember, this is 40 minutes @ 10 lbs.

Memorial Day......................it's NOT about the BBQ!!!
Virginia replied to Midnightmom's topic in The Sunporch
We must remember. -
That's so funny, I have to share it since we always take food down here. I remember all the food that was brought to my dear GF's funeral in 1967. We still use one of the recipes for a cake we were afraid to taste.

Can I can plain stewed apples? Water bath style?
Virginia replied to LeeFae's topic in Preserving the Harvest
All my recipes say to peel the apples, which I do. However, the recipe in the Ball Blue Book gives a recipe for apple rings and says to leave the peel on. I have made applesauce without sugar before, and it is fine. I use a pressure canner, but the BBB calls for waterbathing. Maybe someone else will chime in here. Enjoy all that produce. -
I will never buy micro fiber again, ever. Seems like they are predominant in Big Lots and WM, but we do not like them.

Thank you, Virginia

Salmon patties (or croquets as we used to call them) can be made after picking all the bones and skin out. I would never just dump the can in and mix it up. My mother picked it and so do I. Last time I made them I wondered if a time was coming when we would eat all of it just to have a little more.

They are blessed to be "your twins". May 2014 hold blessings for all of us, and may we recognize them.

Its not the ing that bothers me, we say in for ing sometimes, too. This is placing the emphasis on the ending that is not said using all the letters. Hard to explain. Listen for it.
-
It is close for me, one in Tennessee where I grew up, just wrong city. What I want to know is where in the world are young folks getting the new way of saying words that change the ending, like think-n for thinking where they emphasize the n rather than saying the ing sound. They do it with ent or int endings also. Have seen it on TV, but am even hearing it in our little city. How do these things catch on so fast?
