The pints are unavailable 😢

Sorry. As I have said it was not my intention. I actually used to work with the elderly. I helped people with Alzheimer's and dementia. Never had one creep me out before though so this was a first. I even had one gentleman who used to call me his "sweet little birdy" and purposely walk...

No offense but I wonder if some of those old folks are senile. I was looking at the top of the jar shelf to see if maybe thet had some on top and a little old woman came up beside me and whispered "sometimes I wish there was a button that made our carts disappear" I realize she was making a...

Menards was my go to but apparently word got out. Now they cant keep them on the shelves. Never thought about Big Lots. Will have to try there

Ive found normal size rolls of TP at Dollar General but nowhere else. TP isnt impossible to buy anymore but its hard to find rolls that arent twice the size and twice the price. I get the Charmin 12=24 for 5 bucks still at DG. I also dont clear the shelf like a rat. I stop there about once a...

Anyone else having a hard time finding jars right now? Went to 5 stores today and the only ones they had were the 1/2 pints. Couldnt even find them online. I have plenty of quarts but I ran out of pints. Might just have to can my quarts and call it a day :idunno

My mother cursed me with that. My SO's mother said it to him too. I pray its one more like me and not him. I'd have my hands full. Apparently there was a day when my SO was 4 he said "I wont do that no more, mommy" when she asked "do what?" He said "go on the roof" 😱

Never heard of cowboy candy. Based on your description I was thinking your daughter was MUCH younger. It took me until I was 28 to listen to my father's advice. We all get there sooner or later but for some of use its later or never and regret it. Theres still some things I dont listen to...

Doing another batch of salsa today. Ive finally got blanching the tomatoes down to a science. Last year I kept them in the pot too long and they were very mushy and juicy to cut. I picked 12 ripe tomatoes that were absolutely huge. I realised I should have picked them sooner because I had to...

Zucchini pickles? Ive got too much zucchini myself. Was about to take 3 biggins off to the road with a sign but saw this. Recipe please!

If it werent for Alton Brown I'd still be baking cake from a box:sick

Had a bunch of ripe tomatoes and thought I'd make some salsa to can for the winter. My neighbor let me borrow her Victorio food mill. Gave me arms like popeye until I started cutting the tomatoes smaller but I LOVE that thing. Got 2 quarts of puree and a quart of pulp from 12 tomatoes. Had...

I usually just buy straight pectin and add my own sugar. I dont like not being able to control the sugar content. I use Alton Brown's recipe for blueberry jam. It's delicious!

We actually get along great with those. I'm not mechanically minded either but I love to learn. The only problem is sanding. For some reason the sound and feel of it makes me want to throw up.

Honestly I wouldn't want his help. He's not very proficient with a knife and refuses to accept my teaching. He also gets in the way (our kitchen is very small) and if he sees a mess he has to clean it up immediately in the most long and drawn out way. I have banned him from the kitchen when...

I know what you mean. My SO seems to think I am Wonder Woman. He doesnt believe me when I say canning is an all day job. I think last year I canned tomatoes, made salsa and canned it all in the same day. Started at 8 am and finished just as he was getting home from work

Thats a good idea. Ive never thought of doing it that way. I'm sure it makes canning day less stressful

Oh bless his heart :rolleyes: too close to Chicago here:gigat least he's not a patriots fan:rant

I got used to city water after some time but when I went back to well water I felt like something was wrong until I drank well water exclusively and then hated city water. I can really tell the difference now

We use well water as well. We have a berkey but she needs replacement filters. The dealer we had locally is gone though. That means buying online which we hate to do unless necessary. The canner was necessary. The water though is drinkable as is
