Hi RR, when your husband retires he will probably be on the AZ State Retirement system for health insurance. I pay over $600 a month just for myself with them and it doubles to add a spouse. When I was teaching, my premiums were much like yours now; after retiring they go way up and I'm too young for Medicare.

Hi, does anyone have a good recipe or way to fix butterbeans. My boyfriend is from the south and he remembers them from his childhood; he is adamant that they are not lima beans. Can't wait to try the skillet cornbread and black eyed peas recipes in this thread.

I am just curious as to using broth instead of water when canning meat. Do you used disolved boullion cubes for the broth? I canned the chicken soup a while back and didn't have near enough broth so used disolved chicken cubes for the extra broth. Next time I will use more water than called for in the recipe when boiling the chicken. I'd like to can the hamburger meat - the tutorial link below made it look so easy but I have heard it is better with broth.

I've also read about eating coconut oil for health benefits. The little jar I bought of organic coconut oil is a solidified oil and I couldn't eat a tablespoon of that straight. How does eveyone else eat it? I love using it for making popcorn.

Hi, has anyone used fresh jujube fruit and how did you use it? I have a tree that is loaded with fruit just turning red and wondered if you can eat it fresh like an apple. I saw a recipe on the internet for Jujube Butter and will give that a try, but wondered what other ways there are to use it fresh.
