I ran into a family at Fleet Farm this morning: Late 20ish-early 30ish
daughter, husband, son, and her mom. In her cart: a pressure canner
and the Bigass graniteware canner. I asked her if she'd ever done any
canning before and she had not. I told her to follow the instructions
to the letter. Asked her what she was going to use the pressure canner
for. "Green beans." I said that's often what kills people so do be
careful and DO read the introductory pages to the Ball Blue Book. Gave
her the NCHFP site and the U of MN extension site.

Cross your fingers for Kelly and Terri.

I picked up the new BBB for me. And jars that are still on sale. I'm
going to spent Tuesday morning with Beck's friend and we're going to
make peach jam.
