I hate when I forget to check the lid before I open it, I've wasted so many jars of stuff that way - when I open it I question if it felt a little easy to open & then I get all crazy paranoid & throw it out. I've been canning for so many years, you'd think I'd be better at this.Speaking of canned tomatoes, DP opened a jar from last season and not only did the lid not hiss when opened, I could smell fermentation when she brought it to me to check. I've had seals fail before but this is the first time I could smell it.
ETA: ooohhh, I tried again a couple days ago to talk DH into moving out to PNW after retiring. He's softening. LOL
