Wo...I hope you find out who gave such a nice gift! Wow!<BR/><BR/>As for the canning-Ya gots to get yourself a pressure cooker/canner. Wayyy cheaper online. We have a 23 qt presto brand and we fit almost 16-18 pint size jars in each batch (or 7 quarts). <BR/><BR/>Canning Selling point:<BR/><BR/>They have a shelf life of 7-8 yrs (more than canned food you buy at the store and w/o all the extra preservatives) <BR/><BR/>In case of loss of power (everything in fridge and freezer goes bad) you have fully cooked meat at your fingertips<BR/><BR/>In case of job loss or other financial issue when you have no dough you have food on the shelf anyway.<BR/><BR/>You can buy up a ton of meat when it's on sale really cheap and can for later use and it saves you $<BR/><BR/>In case you're a lumphead like me and either forgot to go grocery shopping or just didn't wanna? still have food...in a fraction of the time a full meal would usually take.<BR/><BR/>The meat steams in it's own juices and its the most tender chicken breast I've ever had in my whole life. And super yum.<BR/><BR/>We seriously had no food on Sunday and I was able to dump a jar of canned beef chunks into a pot n(so tender that just sticking a fork in it shreds it w/ no effort at all), toss in some BBQ sauce and in 3 minutes had a fully cooked bbq meal to serve w/ freezer rolls and my kids loved it!!<BR/><BR/>So there ya go. ;)<BR/><BR/>I like your foxy pic from your reunion as your profile shot!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780571361141805413noreply@blogger.com
