I just attended a "Ladies' Night Out' at church with a speaker and an
optional craft (blessing wreath). I was speaking to the organizer about
upcoming events and we got around to discussing the last 'cooking' night.
They had a 24 speaker who had a cook book collection of (drum roll
please)....20 cookbooks. I snorted and called her a rank amateur (I think
I have around 3k but don't quote me). I suggested a night where we trade
crafts. I crochet and can do cross stitch and have done other artsy fartsy
things, but the one thing I cannot do is knit. I told her I would like to
learn how. She looked whistful and said the one thing she would like to do
is learn to jar thingies. I asked her 'you mean canning and preserving' and
she said yes. I told her I would get back with her, as we could work out how
it could be taught to the group.

So here is a hypothetical question for you, my illustrious group of canning
giants. What would you trade teaching canning skills for? What would you
like to learn that you don't know how to do? I think I would can all day
for someone if they would just clean my damned house for me. What about
you?
