  1. My plan is a mixture of both plans. It is just my son and I, so I am careful about buying bulk packages. Every time there is a Walton order, I get a few of the small cans. Mostly dairy products like FD cheeses and such. Things that I consider luxury items, and would only open as a treat (we are MAJOR cheese lovers, and velveeta would NOT satisfy). The stuff like egg powder, etc, I just plan to seal into smaller containers when I open it. In a long-term, no-power scenario, I assume that the stuff would be used up anyway.
  2. The first jelly I ever made was Hawaiian Punch jelly! I used a recipe that called for frozen, concentrated grape juice, and substituted the frozen HP. It was a big hit with my family. A few years ago I thought that I would try it again, but sadly HP no longer comes in frozen concentrate. Just as well. It was REALLY sweet. But awesome on a toasted and buttered English muffin.
  3. I am sorry to hear this. ((dogmom))
  4. And here in SE VA, we had highs in the mid 80s. Last Thus we had sleet mixed with rain. For the 3rd year in a row, we are going from winter to summer with hardly a spring day in the middle. Sigh.
  5. Canned turkey broth and canned chicken broth cannot be identified without opening and tasting. And even then only by my son. Unfortunately, I have made this mistake more than once. Blush
  6. I ordered a dozen and they came in yesterday. Thanks again for the link.
  7. You are not the only one coming back after a long absence. I also returned recently. Must be something pushing us all back together, hmmm?
  8. Yes, this is a grief that many of us have dealt with. But that does not make it hurt any less when it happens. I grieve with you.
  9. Yep, those are the ones. I would not can with them, but they suit some other purchases. Thanks for the link!
  10. The plastic lids have their place, but they do not seal. I have 2 one peice metal lids that have the rubber, so they do stay tight. Wish I could find more of those.
  11. Big money donors and politicians send their children to private schools.
  12. I had never heard of a lamb cake, so I googled it. Looks yummy! The Wilton site had directions on using their pans. Yes, they are aluminum and were tied together for baking.
  13. I saw this at another site, and thought of this thread. It sounds REALLY yummy! http://lollyssweettreats.com/2012/07/23/homemade-vanilla-bean-creamer/
  14. Wow, I remember when this thread started! I have the first few pages of the thread copied into a word doc. I can see that I need to update!
  15. I made a charitable donation online this morning, and was given a surcharge option at checkout. Either I paid the extra for the surcharge, or the donation would be reduced by that amount. Please note that this was not directly paid to the charity, but through a third-party site. So my $25 donation became $26 and change.
  16. When I was working at the gas company, the meter readers all carried those umbrellas. They really do work.
  17. After the day I had, I needed a good laugh. Thanks for sharing.
  18. I did not cook a turkey this year, but I wanted some broth, so I asked around for a carcass. I got 1 on Thursday that still had all of the dark meat!!! I got a gallon of broth out of that carcass, plus plenty of sandwich meat. Today I was given 3 more carcasses. I will be set on turkey broth for a long time! Love the free food!
