    AK, PM me! There is lots of work down here and in the patch

    Spaghetti, lasagna noodles fit in the jars so you could store them without having to break the noodles up or having to use the sealer bags and having the bags get holes in them. I put my dry beans in them and used the "sucky" machine to seal them with the canning lids

    My mom always used some of the 2 quart jars too. for anything that she was already canning. beets, dills, been pickles, etc. except she would only do 2 jars of each thing in the big jars. So say, for xmas dinner, when a large group was coming over, she'd open a large jar of each, and there would be enough for the group. I'm not sure why she didn't just open 2 1-quart jars, but that was the way she rolled! lol

    My dad always used two for his 3 day dills. he'd start one batch, then in 3 days when they were ready, he'd start another. The first batch would be done in 3 days, so repeat until end of cucumber season.

    I like the 2 litre ones for making/flavouring booze. add some sugar/water to the jar, then pack full of fresh raspberries, or strawberrie,s or blue berries, or saskatoons, or... (you get the idea). Shake em around good, and then top off with vodka or everclear. shake it around daily for about a month. It will fill 2 750ml bottles, have enough left over to make a couple pitchers of daquires, and the strained berries are awesome on icecream!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    Bought a 5x10 trailer to haul lumber on. BIL bought a garret metal detector to find treasures on our land.

    Finished up the last of the quarterly vehicle inspections, two of them needed oil changes so got that done. Also today was the monthly meeting of the local prep group. It was good to see everyone, we had a productive meeting and some nice social time as well. Outlined some training for upcoming months, voted on what portable radios to purchase, had a class on how to build a raised garden bed by building one and had some good food too.

    Overall a productive weekend.

    I started my indoor seeds this week. Doing lots of varieties of hot peppers, tomatos (5 types), artichoke (which have already started to grow after only 6 days!) and cauliflower.
    I apologize for nothing...

    Found a Katadyn Pocket Microfilter for under $220 so I finally bought one.

    For anyone in the market, the website was Vitacost.
