I hope I never have to live like that. I like privacy too much.

Our glass top won't work with a canner because the sensor keeps turning it down -- I think because the pot is considered too big a diameter. I wish I'd known this before we bought it. If we ever have to replace it, I don't think we'll be getting glass again.

Woo Hoo! That's exciting. I'm so glad for you!

Wow! Good for you. I don't understand why someone would put that in the trash and not send it to a charity or something.

Thanks. It just hadn't occurred to me that it could take quite so long.

I've had four trays of pineapple in my dehydrator for about 21 hours now and it still feels limp and damp. Does anyone know how long it normally takes?

My dehydrator says use 125 for onions.

Because of hand/arm pain, I use the food processor to dice my onions. I have not made garlic powder, but there's nothing to keep you from doing it. Someone on one of my forums said she no longer cans or freezes tomatoes. She just makes tomato powder. I've got two pineapples sitting here that...

I'm in Alabama (not south Alabama) and we got damage from Katrina even up here, as well as Ike. I've been to New Orleans -- don't ever want to go back. Where I live it was 101 when I pulled out of the parking garage today . The heat and humidity is at that can't-avoid-sweating-when-...

rivka, I admire your "constitution" for being able to live in Houston with that little air conditioning. :clap

Basically, crime, crime, crime and martial law.

I noticed some smaller jars at Big Lots, but I did not notice the price on those. I guess I've never seen American Harvest myself, but have only used Ball and Kerr jars.

I noticed that Big Lots had the cases of jars for $7.50 yesterday. I was sorely tempted to buy some.

I just wanted to say that I know this is incredibly disappointing, but I am wondering if you need to maybe step back and take stock -- and possibly consider living somewhere else. I am in a situation -- living deep in the woods on a lot in the middle of family land, and DH and I have really...
