    Over 90% of OTC comes from China. Any pain relief, spec vitamins -- C, D, Bs, calcium, etc. will be slower coming to restock. Plus higher cost. It's not panic time just review what you use and save a buck.

    Well -- it has begun!😞. The increases due to the tariffs wars, threats, etc. Thank J&J and P&G for raising prices now to avoid the rush -- and probably brag "they'll hold the line" on increases if there are any significant pricing costs from actual tariffs. Yeah, already had the kick up. I &...

    Are we living our dream?

    Funerals are usually a gathering we wish was different. But sometimes it's how we know others are still among us.🥴. Sadly so. My chickens love "frig day" too 😄

    What's for dinner?

    Yes, I water bath. Also, I've learned not to cook too long, leave a little loose before jarring. The extra few min in WB adds cook time PLUS just before end of cook down, I add some unsalted butter. It smooths the blend nicely & helps prevent grainy, IMO. I've work thru a couple batches...
