That's a fact my friend. In addition to our garden grown veggies, the missus canned stew, vegetable soup, chili, and stuffed pepper soup using many home grown ingredients. There's also various home made jams and jellies.

That's before you get into what she put by in the freezer. View Image

We'll be eating good all winter long.


Since I'm a grasshopper, it's a good thing I married an ant.

How often do you replace the lids and seals? I contemplate canning every season but always end up freezing.

How often do you replace the lids and seals? I contemplate canning every season but always end up freezing.

Whenever we open a jar, we throw away the inner part of the lid (I assume that's what you mean by seal). As long as the outer lids aren't damaged we keep and reuse them. The missus just picked up a few boxes of lids (inner) tonight.

She cans with a pressure cooker. Those babies are sealed so tight, you need a church key to open them.

We call them rings and flats. The last couple of years they came out with reusable flats.

I am old and dont trust them.

You had 2 neighbors who have been feuding for 15 years, because they shot each other's dog (dead).

Before that, they were best friends.

But, when one of them died, the feud did not stop.

The living feuder (currently 68) chose to continue the feud with the brother, widow, and tenant (3 different people) of his previous feuding partner.

Most recently, that meant coming onto my property (heard about it the next day) with a rifle and a handgun, threatening to do un-specified damages to the 2 men he's trying to continue the feud with. That was in September 2013. His pupils were dilated as big as pupils go.
