Cooking & Baking

I'm jealous, not just of your end product, since we tend to eat Mexican more than anything else in this household... but for knowing the art and science of canning. My father, a Depression-era guy, used to can veggies all the time, especially long green beans. He'd get after me for eating them straight out of the jar, but he never taught me how to can. To be fair, I never asked... being a child of the 60's, I had other non-home related things to do! Now that I'm in my 60's and coming up to face the coming trump's Great Depression, I wish I'd been smart enough to slow down, stay home, and learn!
