I put in the mo/day and left the year blank. It put it in my profile ok. Will have to wait 8 mo and 5 days to see if it comes up on the forum.

This is the only post that I can help 'fix'. Westie posted some wonderful radish recipes, I copied them and e-mailed them to my mom. So I just copied them from my sent folder.

I've been worried about Mamacat for a bit. Her last post was on 6/15. Her old posts are still there-under the name '5th graders mama'. Hoping and that all is ok with her.

Ok-I'm gonna disagree and say you can can olives in a water bath. Like sauerkraut-if they have enough salt content. My recipe says 1 1/2 Tablespoons per 1 quart of water. Or you could do them like pickles and use any sweet pickle or dill pickle recipe brine. I think this is a very interesting idea. Especially if you could get your hands on fresh raw olives. Otherwise I'd think you could re-can them in the same brine that they come in with a hot water bath.

Necie here-aka Brightblessing. Actually, Brightblessing hasn't posted today. Her last post was 7/1, and her aka username is Jeanettecentaur, and don't ask me how I figured that out.
