I know it's hard. I didn't get married until I was in my mid 30's. It was worth the wait. Both are very true. I decided early that I could be happier single than married in a bad relationship. Concentrate on being the right person and then at the right time you'll meet the right person! If I...

Thank you. That was informative, especially about not using convection for bread. I didn't know that. I also didn't realize it wasn't helpful for baking cakes. I'll try again with cookies and pizza. I've never tried it with pizza yet.

I have an oven with convection bake. I struggle with it so usually don't end up using it. I know people who really like the convection. What is the trick? Are there certain things that do better with convection? or without convection?

I've done it both ways. Depends on if I have the time to get it all canned that day. If it has to wait until the next day, I do skim off the fat. One thing I've learned to do is keep stirring it so that the fat gets divided up amongst all the jars rather than having a few jars that end up with...

I usually do can some/most and then freeze the rest. If my canner is full, and I only have a few more pints/quarts then I will freeze those rather than run the canner again. We had a freezer go down so I've been trying to can more than I freeze. I'd hate to lose all that work. Plus, if it's...

If I had to choose between a broken dishwasher or washing machine, I'd definitely pick my dishwasher to be the one broken...even long term. I consider my dishwasher a convenience. My daughter or I could wash them, but the dishwasher frees up time to do other things. I really appreciate it during...

Yes, mid/lower thumb area

Think our storm has been downgraded to an advisory. I've seen conflicting reports so I guess we'll have to wait and see what we get....

Forgot to mention some Cinnamon Rolls for this weekend too.

Wanting to get started on some cookies this week.

Our repairman told us it would cost too much to fix ours. We could have bought a whole new range (a cheap one) for what it would cost to fix the oven...so we ended up buying a new one (not a cheap one, but not the more expensive one I would have preferred either). The told us the same thing...

Yes, I should have specified that ours is switched over to propane.

With the canning, I see the value in a gas cooktop! I think dual fuel might be more expensive, but probably worth it with as much baking as you do.

I don't. We thought about it. I remember struggling to get my cookies to turn out with my gas stove. "What is wrong? I know how to make cookies." I grew up with a gas range. When we got married, our rental house had an electric range. When we bought our house, we bought a gas range. When I...

It's hard. We walked that road with my dad. He passed away 3 years ago.

I cut back some on the Clear Jel in my recipe so it's not quite so thick. I have a friend who is allergic to cinnamon so I started leaving the cinnamon out until I make the pie. When I did add cinnamon before canning, I learned to add it after I added the apples to the thickening mixture because...

What was your process? I'm trying to decide if I want to use my steam juicer or cook with water then strain. If you cooked with water and then strained, how much water to how many cups of berries?

Sally, it was fairly cloudy here, but every once in awhile the sun would peek out and we were able to see the partial eclipse. What we saw looked like a cookie with a big bite taken out of it.

At some point they introduced a Rhubarb. Not sure if that is what she's supposed to be or not. Haven't watched in a looooong time. My nephew loved Veggie Tales when he was little!

I think it was John the Baptist not the Apostle John.
