There's another factor you need to take into account when calculating ROI on your solar panels. And that's the fact that going with a sustainable solution is just the right thing to do. John

That's what I needed to know. Thanks! John

I've got another canning question . . . If you have a Pressure Cooker/Canner for canning things with meat in them, can you also use it as a Water Bath Canner, or are there reasons to have one of each? I understand they do different things, but If I'm able to accomplish both with one piece of...

The particular model of GFX I'll be going with won't be nearly as elaborate as the one in that photo. Instead, it'll simply be two - 80" columns, which will hang vertically down the wall of the mechanicals room and be connected at the top with a copper manifold. This system should give me...

If you raise your children with the hopes that they'll end up to be responsible, independent free-thinkers, then allow them to be. If your greatest hope for your children is that they be HAPPY, then ALLOW them to be. Don't saddle them with YOUR expectations. Trying to steer your child...

Too bad you didn't have the foresight to get compensated by the pound in case of divorce, eh?

I prefer: Glacier of Corpulent Tissue.

I'll check it out. That's my kind of humor. Thanks, Spamalot.

And you didn't even post the RECIPE? (Awesome description, by the way . . . )

I think my most horrific food memory growing up would have to be one of the "holiday desserts" my mother likely found in Reader's Digest or Ladies Home Journal. It was a sickening concoction of corn flakes, karo syrup, butter, marshmallows and enough green food coloring to dye the Chicago...

Don't you DARE make Spamarinara Sauce. What a great website. I watched a couple of their videos which are really helpful. Thanks for pointing me to the right place. It's now bookmarked.

I've never canned tomato sauce before and am quite interested in doing so this coming year. My family never canned anything growing up, but I have wonderful memories of my Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle, right off the boat from Italy, canning hundreds and hundreds of quarts of sauce every Summer...

I think the term Homesteading has come to mean many things for many people. John

I can't help but picture that poor little girl though. . . :D

Fair enough. :)

I believe it was LdyChef who was blessed with a whole CASE of it one year for Christmas. Just the thought of that makes me throw up a little in my mouth. My sister told me many years ago that when she was in college she once took a Greyhound bus to get back to school. On that trip, she...

Then I suggest eating bacon instead. At least bacon isn't suspended in a slurry of preservatives and carcinogens. You also have a better idea what part of the pig you're eating. Anyone who's a regular consumer of Spam is just playing Russian Roulette; at some point they're going to...

It's 80% fat. It better be yummy.

I'd have to agree. I find it rather absurd to create a survival shelter if you're going to stock it with food that's going to kill you. :ep

I scoff because nutritionally that stuff is garbage. When you add the hickory smoke flavor, that probably makes it carcinogenic, too. For the record, I don't eat any internal organs, either.
