Last night, while canning stewed chicken, our power went off (found out later that someone had hit a power pole, thankfully not killed). Was out for over 4 1/2 hours.

MomM-are you near Mommafitz?

I smear a layer of regular dish soap on the bottom of my pans when I use our old LP canning stove AND when I cook over an open fire. You have to be careful in handling the pots that you don't get it on your fingers and then lick them

I heard tell somewhere when I was a kid that the reason prohibition happened was really to keep people from making their own biofuel! The oil men wanted to sell their wares to the farmers, and the only way they could ensure a market was to outlaw the large scale production of alcohol by individuals. Just a thought, don't have any facts to back it up .....
