WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[FarmerJamie]

Looked in pantry with canned goods to place these qts of chicken in there. Really, it's almost embarrassing -- I have to rearrange to have room. Seems I felt a need to prepare for years. So overstocked. Maybe never buy again. And I'm looking at a garden? Why? Tomatoes would be main thing. Some limas, peppers, a couple eggplant & squash. I could get all that with a 12X12 spot Reality sets in. Slow down needed.

Am I the only one in this spot? Fess up now Surely I'm not!

I had to open a new case of jars the last canning stint go-round. Running out of planned/allocated shelf space.

I totally understand, hence why we're eating out of the pantry at least once a week, and quite often several times. I mean, I canned it to use it - so we're using it!

I'm going to milk a couple of days before we leave for the trip. I'll try canning it before we go. Evaporated milk has gotten stupid expensive. (what hasn't?)

I'm using pretty much full time. Gotta get it eaten. Habit, convenience, retraining mindset. Otherwise, why do it?

Milk -- easy to do. Look out Carnation!
Definitely that same taste. But I use for cooking, there's that. Same for hot tea but, I prefer the fresh for that during season.
