Very sad, sorry for the loss of your dad.

Mrs Weed decided we should try these Lotus Cookies with Ice Cream! She is so SMART!

Just go to YouTube. Search any University or Cooperative Extension for canning. It is very important to do as they say. There are 2 types of canning water bath and Pressure canning. Some foods require higher temps.........this must be done with a pressure caner. Some foods will need lemon juice. Also I suggest what ever caner you buy, it is essential to have the manual for that model. Pressure canning is safe but the procedures MUST BE followed exactly. It is also god to know certain food items can better than others. Vegetables types can have certain strains that can better than others. The carrots we caned were not the best for that purpose. I had my first planting get washed out by a thunder storm the day after planting. Due to Covid the seeds I wanted were not available for the replant. Good Luck

I’ve had a garden for years. We’ve bottled and froze our harvest before but now that I’ve decided to retire we see this as a way to become more independent. This takes quite a bit of effort but it is worth it. This is mostly my idea but the Mrs is a real trooper and really sees the benefits. Covid has really impacted our movements. My parents are 88/85 and are in very fragile health. The least amount of time I have to go to the stores the better. I can’t bring COVID to them, it would be a death sentence. At 63 I have no desire to run to the stores for supplies. I buy in bulk everything I require when it comes on sale. One example is butter when it comes on sale I save $2.00 per pound. I buy 40 pounds and save $80 dollars. I just freeze the butter. This is the way my father taught me. We grew up poor and dad saved a buck we ever he could. Sadly the world now is a THROW AWAY WASTEFUL PLACE.

You get A+ for trying lol. Prayers to everyone in Quebec dealing with the pain inflicted by a senseless act. My heart always breaks hearing of these such sad things.

Second batch. One more tomorrow. A lot of work but well worth it.

Batch number 1!

Wow stated digging carrots to get them ready to bottle/can them.this is 45 pounds. I have no idea why I planted this many. I have another 200 pounds in the ground. I just finished 17 five hundred ml jars in the canner. That’s only 15 pounds or so. Mrs Weed and I will do another batch. Called our niece she has 5 kids, we’ll send them a bunch and I’ll dig, clean and deliver a bunch to the soup kitchen. God knows they can use them. I’ll post a picture of the bottles when I take from the pressure canner. Just a friendly reminder if you can help out the food banks and soup kitchens near you please do. Covid has taken its toll on so many folks.

He meant BOOBS not MOOBS!

He was a great actor.

Good luck everyone may the best team win!

Good Canadian humour!

WE ALL KNOW THAT LOL

Congratulations and good luck on your new adventure.

I can’t believe a fellow New Brunswicker would pose like that! Brings me back to when I was a kid and we didn’t have inside plumbing. On second thoughts that was our plumbing. EEEWWWWW lol

So happy to hear you can still ............................get shaky lol!

Lol, the big gems are from different days

I bet that would have nice with the bread grilled or toasted. Looks good.

He is cute but let’s see what you think when he destroys your house, furniture, bedding etc. He’ll be teething real soon good luck lol. Jokes aside you’re going to have a great companion and receive lots of love from him. As a plus he will likely protect you and keep all the creeps away. Cheers

I took those back and bought 2 from Costco. They are made of 304 stainless. I used one of the new pots. No rust and cleaned up perfectly.

Bread is out of the oven. Just putting the butter to the crust.

The jelly was made with mostly Mcintosh apples. They are sweet and tart at the same time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple)

Yes Rob I wish you were here to sample it. I’d make you a cup of tea, most of my family enjoy tea but I’ve never caught on.
