My old food saver, that I bought used off of eBay, has a long narrow tray that I have to put the open end of the bag, down in. PITA, but the machine works fine.
Word got out that our Canning and Dehydrating group was planning on a 72 hour preparedness display. We've been invited to the local Emergency Preparedness and Safety Fair three Saturdays from now. I'm glad I got a small start, cus I'll just continue with my Canning Focus for the County Fair and...
I'm one of two assistant Superintendents for our County Fair for the Canning & Dehydrating Group. The main Super asked me to set up a 72 hour emergency prepared table. BUT! It has to be canning and dehydrating focused.
So far I've made:
1. Crisco candles in a pint and quart jar, and a sardine...
I soaked bowls and bowls of black beans. For a bit too long, but they were aok.
Canned up four quarts. Two of them didn't seal!! I can reprocess, but I think I'll throw them into zip bags into the freezer. I add beans to lots of my recipes. Just to stretch the meat a bit.
When you have a moment and want to see nature in the rest of our world, see these photos. Amazing!!

Hubs and son moved a tree for me a week ago. It wasn't happy in full sun, so he moved it to a shadier spot. When he went to pound in the stake with a t-post thingie, out came flying blood and stuff. Evidently a mouse was up in the top. :th

I found some Orange Roughy on clearance at Safeway. Haven't seen it in many years. So I looked it up. Its been overfished and contains too much mercury for kids/preg women.
These two 70 yr olds don't care about that for one meal. Going to make soft fish tacos tonite.
Mother's daddy raised turkeys in his Philadelphia back yard during the early 30's. He'd lost his job at Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) as an engineer for three years. Mother hated those turkeys. They were the dumbest things ever, and if I ask Mother (94.5 yrs now) about them, she will launch into how...
@Alaskan Saw this article in my FB feed.
During overflights on March 7 and 11, AVO measured significantly elevated volcanic gas emissions from Mount Spurr volcano, Alaska. The increase in gas emissions confirms that new magma has intruded into the Earth’s crust beneath the volcano and indicates...
Hubs meandered into my office this morning. He said maybe there are a few parts I could take off that refrigerator - you know, like the handles. They might be good for something someday.
I said Oh no, I'm not goin.....
OH!! I said. Maybe I can use the drawers somewhere. Maybe the huge flat...
