I sealed about 15 more pounds of roast, today, since I made room, in the freezer by pressure canning some of the beef that’d been in the freezer since early ‘21.
I need to pressure can about 4 more good sized (frozen) roasts, here, pretty soon.
The garden isn’t going as great as we’d hoped it would. Live and learn. :-(
The lemons are looking good, though!
Every time I read one of the survival threads here, I panic and go can something. I’ve now used up all my jars!
My neighbor has figured something out, since when she asks what I am doing and I say canning a lot. So now she’s asking me about food storage. I don’t know how much I should say or how I should say it.
Ms.b - $3 for lettuce! What’s sad is that things like potato chips are so much cheaper than fresh produce. So many people are going to have to eat junk food just because of the cost.
Your growing lemons in Texas weather?
In my small town, there are numerous small farms.
I can’t wait until their produce is up and running
and ready to sell!
Some of them even have an “honor system” where you
take your produce, and put the money in a small box that has a “mail slot” on the top,
The prices are listed, and you pay accordingly.
I have never heard of a theft problem here.
I’ve no doubt that the small farms have cameras watching what goes on!
My home town is well known for being armed, and have been for some time!
I watch the sales for meat very closely, and buy it in bulk
whenever we can.
Then Mr. B and I “process” it together.
We wrap the meat in freezer paper, and then place that into zip lock bags, and then into small labelled boxes that are tightly sealed.
The boxes are from Omaha steaks that had their products in them.
Since their meat is (was) hermetically sealed, nothing has
ever leaked out of them, so the boxes remain free of any germs.
We the list what we have packaged on a clip board next to the freezer.This system has worked great for us for many years!
