Yesterday I canned some Mixed Veggies and some Chicken and then I canned the Chicken Broth. I also canned some Green Peas (not pictured). Can't wait to pop the top on these this winter.

I completely agree with you. My husband and I decided we didn't want some one else raising our kids for us as would have happened with them in day care. We had watched my sister take her son to day care. He was asleep when she dropped him off and asleep when she picked him up again. My mother worked full time my entire life. I got myself up, fed myself breakfast, and got myself to and from school and after school activities by myself. I did the laundry for everyone from the time I was 8 years old and cooked dinner most nights by myself. It has taken a long time as an adult to come to a positive relationship with my parents. I always felt completely alone and unwanted. Why bring a child into this world if you aren't going to take care of them? Stepping off my soap box.Seems to me if mothers want their daughters to be married they'd teach them to be better cooks. My wife used to bring me dinner when I worked the night shift BEFORE we got married. Baked chicken and stuffing. Scalloped potatoes and pork chops. A man does his part and a woman does hers. Like a team. One guy throws the football another guy catches it. Can you see it? Both guys run down the field stop and look at each other? "I thought you were gonna pass it", "I thought you were". There goes the ball in the hands of the other team. I remember the pastor saying once. "If they're happy with the way things are keep you nose out". Speaking of folks marriage. That came cuz folks sticking their noses in other peoples marriage. I never can understand why women choose to work two jobs. One outside the home and one inside. Just go into a debate about women doing more housework than her husband even though they both work outside the home. Women spend more time taking care of the kids too. I can't see why a woman wants to put up with all the crp of working outside the home. The boss, stupid co-workers etc. etc. Part time maybe but full time? No way. Most of the guys I worked with at the PO I wouldn't want to be friends with. Use to be a woman sold eggs to get herself some money. I know things change but change isn't always good. DW has worked part time. I expect it's the only reason I'm alive. She used to work for the fabric store and spend it all on fabric to sew for the kids. My girls didn't wear to many store bought dresses when they were little. Being a good Mom is not easy."The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Sorry I always say more than I should.
Unfortunately, with gardening, there may not be a "next season"....this was one of those years, hence having to buy from another source. This year we had so much rain it washed away valuable nutrients and everyone had a huge loss of tomatoes, corn, peppers, potatoes, etc. That's why, if you have the resources, it's a good idea to can enough for 2 yrs consumption, as one is never guaranteed next year's crop. When a bad year comes along, the prices at the farm stand can reflect that, as they struggle in drought, blight and rain years as well, though not as much as us.
What are mock olives?
Congrats!Sooo... I have been looking at this thread for quite some time and wanting to try my hand at canning. But unfortunately the Internet has scared me into not wanting to try. Botulism sounds so scary. I finally found something easy to start. Sauerkraut and pickled daikon. My mom has been making pickled daikon for years, so I figured why not. Just started the fermentation of the sauerkraut and just finished with the daikon. We will see in a couple of days as to how they turn out.
All of you canners out there, thanks you for giving me the nerves to try something new!
