Came across this site in my internet wanderings and KNEW that my friends here would love this information!

Aha!

Happy happy birthday to you!

I've had the same problem that wormie was having-text too small to see. I also would like to know why most of the time the command bar is grayed out - ie - not available for use (text size, smilies, etc).

How is fresh ham "ham?" I thought ham was smoked pork and that fresh ham was another name for pork? Is it the cut of meat that makes it ham?

I had to replace mine eventually. I finally found a gasket at ACE Hardware(cost about $10). I took the old one with me and "matched" it in the store. Hint: if you have the box or the manual, the model no. should be printed on it somewhere. That is a much preferred way to buy your replacement!

Uploaded on Apr 24, 2011 CBS6's 28th annual holiday extravaganza: The Melodies of Christmas! featuring the Empire State Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorale in the historic Proctor's Theatre. CBS 6 broadcasted the program on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This was recorded December 24, 2004 from 7:30 to 9:00 PM. Net proceeds benefit the Child Cancer Program at Albany Medical Center. Sponsored by Price Chopper and Freihofer's Baking Company. CBS Channel 6 The performances are awesome, and I especially love how much the conductor enjoys her job! Just watch her bobbing, and bouncing and smiling as she conducts the concert. (I want to add a smilie here, but they are "greyed out." I happen to know the key-code for this one. and this one. this one too. )

(TRIED TO POST THIS EARLIER, BUT MY WIFI WENT DOWN) Philbe- The non-stick surface is Teflon. A bottom rack for your pot can be created by zip-tying several screw rings together, but I'm not sure whether it can be used for pressure canning, because if you don't know the weight of the "rattler" you won't know if you've created the proper pressure inside the pot for canning purposes. Violet will probably be along any time now and can probably be more difinitive. NEW-I bought my canner (used) on e-bay. You might try looking there, or possibly Craig's list.

Got it cut off the bone. Will can it tomorrow.

Me thinks jeepers has a very good idea. I guess I will glean what she can't carry in her two little arms!

Love it Cat! Love it. Here's the follow-up.

Cat- were you "high" on pain meds for your back when you posted that??? Not even going to try to out-alliterate you!!! But, you'd better start runnin' cause I'm tossing some snowman peeps your way! (Hey-I got a two-fer. A food fight AND a snowball fight. )

I imagine this is how it was first performed--an all male choir with the soprano parts being sung by prepubesent boys. It is a wonderful presentation. Enjoy!

anybody here familiar with the Piano Guys? #!

Violet - would pre-boiling the ham before processing it get rid of the sugars that turn red/brown during the canning? I was in Winco today and they had butt portions of ham for $ .98/lb so I bought one.

Gee Jeepers! Could you be any more precise??? BTW-I am 5-2 1/4

I am so happy to find out that I am not the only one who thought the discussion was going to be about sewers, not sewing!!! I was all ready to discuss the problems the enviornmentaly mandated low-flow toilets are causing in San Fran - the "City by the Bay," or what would happen to people who live in an apt, or someone who doesn't have a back-flow trap installed on their sewer line would be facing. However, since this is actually about sewing, I don't have a thing to contribute since I'm not a sewer!!! (or a seamstress)

Welcome Pearl. Look forward to seeing you around the forums!

Oh! You're talking about a real cat.............as in feline. I thought you were talking about our Cat.....................as in Cathy!!! I was wondering what she was doing at your house.

I usually wash the jars after processing too. And I thought about the rust issue. But they seem to stack better (more stability) if the rings are left on. Guess I'll go back and remove them. Thanks.

Let me interrupt and ask a question. Do you leave the screw rings on your canned goods after processing and when putting them in storage???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little John the Baptist Johnny's Mother looked out the window and noticed him "playing church" with their cat. He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it. She smiled and went about her work. ~~~~~~~ A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back To the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water. She called out, "Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!" Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church."
