However, Nancy is a WebTVer. She hasn't had (sp?) jacqui's training session. She was fairly restrained in this OP, but I caught an earlier one from her that wasn't quite... She wasn't abusive, she just wasn't in the neighborhood. What is it? Does WebTV give these incredible specials or do they just point their clients at newsgroups periodically? Why can't they explain lurking and searching? Oh, who do I think I am and why do I care? ;-) The only other newsgroup to which I regularly post is rec.art.mystery. We don't get much of the WebTV scene; some crossposting with other groups, but we're small enough and nasty enough (outside the group) to fight back. The very few WebTVer's who have shown up over the years have been very circumspect. I keep thinking that there should be a firewall when WebTVers start posting---"Read this www and Usenet and whatever manual. There will be a test. If you do not pass the test, phhffttt, you can't play." I know that's not fair---look at all the a***oles out here! It's just that they come in here like they have the keys to kingdom and who are we---give us a break! Oh, well, I'm tired, cranky, and am trying to clean up and pack up this ****hole we call a computer room so Ed will let me have the "good" computer on the move this weekend. Pam |

I do a lot of canning including peaches and pears. Right now I'm in the middle of doing up various tomato products and have posted links to pictures of some of them. When I get tired of seeing tomatoes I switch and do up a batch of something using apples. Today I'm taking a break from tomatoes and apples and doing up mint jelly The bestresouce is the Ball Blue Book. A good website is homecanning.com and Melba posted an excellent link in her reply. Here's the link to homecanning's instructions for doing peaches http://www.homecanning.com/can/AlRecipes.asp?R=103 Since you are new to canning you would find it quite helpful to read through canning basics at the homecanning website. As others have mentioned rec.food.preserving is a great newsgroup with lots of friendly and knowledgable posters. I post there too. If you need any help just ask. A couple of tips when doing peaches or pears - I find the 1 L (quart) size of jars to be the best size to use. I like using a thin flexible spatula for removing air bubbles. |

Maybe. > ?-) George has to be the most knowledgeable person when it comes to peppers and hot sauce! I love reading about his hot sauce. I'm so envious that I haven't been able to make a batch yet. I only grow enough of the various hot peppers to make salsa with so never have enough for much of anything else. Maybe next year I'll take over another section of yard for more veggies. You know zxcvbob is rather iffy. Everyone says the canning has gone right to his head - LOL R&D |

I post on rec.food.preserving and on rec.garden.edible. Many of the posters here do the same thing so they would likely get bored seeing the same messages. If you can or freeze chances are good you garden and chances are even better you like to cook. Most of the canning is seasonal so I should be back to regular cooking soon. Wait until I post pick of my lasagne! My quiche isn't all that bad either. Well I still have mushrooms and a couple of soups to can as well as finish up salsa. My canned and frozen goodies is what helps me to cook healthy meals the rest of the year I'm not surewhat the problem with cross posting is as long as the two groups are related. |

I think part of my problem with the WebTV crew is that they never seem to take the time to lurk and read, to learn how this or that particular group operates, to learn just some basic netiquette. Have you seen even a basic Hi, I'm so and so, from any of them? We just had an 18-year-old dude with a question on cooking with wine who had the manners to introduce himself to the group. Jacqui works very hard to educate this group, and I applaud her. I'm just not all that patient these days, and I apologize. BTW, for those who don't know me, I'm one of the original trollops. I posted regularly for some time (under various addresses), disappeared for awhile, wandered in again, disappeared again, wandered in, and disappeared, and have been back for a fair time at this point. I'm not always mannerly, but I try to be! I live a looong way down the street from Melba, but in the same part of the world, although Ed and I are moving to Colorado---officially 10/1. Ed is responsible for introducing to the world "Campbell's" Cream of Lutefisk Soup. Dang, Carol, I promised that we pass the official "first-off-the-assembly-line" cans to you and Gene. We'll get to that---unless you're afraid to have them in the house! Now that I think of it, they might blow up during transport. Pam |

In WP, we're sitting in just over an acre, but right on the edge of Pike's Peak National Forest with a fine view of Pike's Peak and 250 miles of trails just down the street. Happy campers we! <When we finally get there!> Pam |

Well now, my mom died when I was 4 days old but the mom who raised me was a really good sort. She had all these fab recipes stored in here head never written down that died with her. Pity because she was a damn fine cook in her own right and canner too. I have a chili sauce that comes close to hers but still not quite right. I *wish* she had shared her reciped! She could cook liver and onions worth a hoot though. I had to get married to enjoy that type of goodie. I doubt she knew what a trollop was. Putting it politely she would likely be considered a prude nowadays. |

My mom wouldn't let me. > Puh-leeze!! That whirring sound you hear is Mom spinning in her grave > at the very iDEa! Now you really have me thinking about this trollop thing! You have to ask your mom's permission? Can you qualify if you mom's gone to that big kitchen in the sky? Spinning in the grave is just not a real good idea unless the said deceased is pureeing something or making fruit smoothies. I think there is a cemetery rule to that effect as to noise after 11 pm  Funny thing, I learned to drive in the local cemetery. My mom never drove so finally talked a friend into teaching me. The premis was they were already dead so I couldn't do much harm. Now I do cemetery stomping for genealogy. I pack a nice lunch then go take photos of tombstones or rubbings if necessary. Cemeteries are a big part of my life I'm particularly fond of egg salad sandwiches with a couple ofpickles, a piece of fruit and club soda or plain water for this type of lunch. I do on occasion like a sandwich made of 12 grain bread, mesclun mix, ham or turkey, swiss cheese, onions, tomatoes, mayo and just a wee bit of mustard. I forego the pickle if I make this kind of sandwich but if having ham like olives. DH is surprised I haven't taken the portable bbq on these excursions. I swear he has an attitude sometimes but for the most part he keeps it in check as long as I cook for him > > >>BTW, I think I started in '95 or '96 or thereabouts.

Are you remembering to tap these women on each shoulder with a spatula? Wanna remain acting head trollop for awhile? I'm spending most of my time sleeping these days.

I failed my duties. I'll do better. I'll be acting head trollop until you feel better. I don't like it, but that's the way it is. Have you heard? Barb says she was never a trollop. I almost fell off my chair. My word. nancy |
