That is one of my memories growing up, canning pears with my mother. 95 degree heat, pear juice up to my armpits, stickiness, and sneaking bites whenever she wasn't looking. I hated every moment of it, but I'm so glad she was persistent and taught us how to can and preserve food from the garden.

Ok...guyz and goils...I know you must be tired of me and latest Kfalls Tirade, but you just have to read this one...

Now tie all this together..the farmers can't get water coz of the fish, California can't get electricity because of the price, and now they can't get water because of the drought...

I saw a thread, and I'm tooooooo disgusted and irate to search it out now, describing how the power crisis in Cali was not really a crisis and was a "non-event". NOW THIS:

Californias Water Crisis/Drought

Well, silly me. I gave all my canning jars to my m-i-l, so I am putting these in the freezer.

I didn't raise a garden this year so I didn't think I would need them. We kinda loan the jars back and forth. Oh well, that's what I get for thinking. :-)
