Jill, if you have read my posts you know I'm a die hard foodie who does
a lot of canning. The *want* is a given. The ability might be another
issue. Oh and I'm not trying to tell anyone about physically
challenged people. I'm asking for tips on how to cope with this problem
while maintaining my cooking standards as well as not giving up canning.
This type of discussion could be of benefit to more than just me.
