Agreed FJ.
I used to buy No Roll alot for the restaurant chain Stuart Anderson's Black Angus. Those were trending up to Upper Choice, as we called it back in the 80's.
I opened a jar of home canned potatoes, added fresh zucchini, dried onions, dried spinach, some home canned corned beef hash, and a sprinkle of fake bacon. Simmered and then dropped 6 eggs into the mix. Covered and let simmer. YUMMY, with toast on the side!
At our Dept at the County Fair, we had a 42% increase in the number of jars entered, vs last year? Why?
A very very active FB group is one reason.
I'd like to think that folks are canning and dehydrating and freeze drying anything they can get their hands on, at a sale or clearance price...
Zucchini casserole. Made up. Layered slices of large zuc with sauce mix of fresh tomatoes, can of garbanzos, dried onions, dried tomatoes, 2 home grown japanese eggplants, and spices. Middle layer was precooked sliced sausages and cheddar cheese. Now its in the oven on convection for an hour plus.
I made a beef dish the other day. Now typing this up, I cannot for the life of me remember the name. I'll have to come back later when I remember. But it was good, even tho I didn't have any adobo peppers in a can.
