WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[FarmerJamie]

Hmmm. Does wife know? No 2nd plot now?

I see some serious canning plans!

2nd plot planted already with cukes.

he is on board with supplying me with bulk amounts of veggies to can this summer.

That's fantastic! (I am officially jealous)

Nothing on the docket to can this weekend!

me either, but I did freeze 5 quart bags of spinach and 2 quart bags of rhubarb

I've got 20 lbs of chicken legs/thighs to do. Mostly because a couple weeks ago I was trying to count what I have and couldn't believe I didn't have as much chicken as I thought I did. However - DH had put some away for me a while back and he later stacked empty jars on top of full jars. I didn't see two cases under them. ARGH! Combine that with a good sale price and here we are. I think he did it on purpose, lol! But, I'm going to make a big pot of soup today since we will have the son and d-i-l over this evening. Think I'll make chicken enchilada soup. That'll use up some of that chicken so I don't have to can it all. In fact, I think I'll make a HUGE pot of soup and DS can take a bunch home with him.

perfect planning IMO!

It was really good. My huge soup pot came in handy. Between the four of us there were five full bowls eaten for dinner. I sent home almost 3 qts with DS and I still had a quart left for us! Love that soup!

The wife found this template for inventory tracking. She logged jar each with a "/" and then will use an "\" to make an "X" when used up.

Love that!
