Just re-reading older posts and noticed your question in Post-401:

"Would you be interested in doing a topic on canning? Or anything else you are interested in?"

Throwing my 2¢ in.

I suggest that "Home Canning" would be an excellent weekly topic for us.
I know it has been discussed on older threads and posts but I think it would be an interesting topic for people currently active on this thread.

There are a lot of sub-topics to discuss and share information about:

❶ How-To Do It
❷ Equipment
❸ Jars and Lids
❹ Recipes
❺ Personal techniques and experiences
Pretty Exciting Stuff Right?

====================================

PS: Here is a whacky and scary 2021 Free-Repub thread:

"Check out Facebook's warning that interest in food preservation might be a sign of extremism"

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3991026/posts

The original Facebook page is gone but the Free-Repub Thread and posts are still here.

Imagine the state of mind to conclude that people who prepare and preserve their own food instead of looting grocery stores are possible extremists!

I don't know if we should laugh or buy more ammo!

Actually it is, I love canning! That was on my list but I think I’m going to do it sooner, I have an emergency canning question. Emergency because I might have to return a canner if it won’t work. I’ll post something to you and everyone shortly. Thanks so much for the great ideas!

I guess we are extreme because we won’t be able to be controlled. Not by threats of starvation.

I don’t know if this was fact or what, but I remember threads a little while ago about them not letting us buy non-hybrid seeds.
