Home Study Course
I just noticed that the University of Georgia has a self-study course
on preserving. Think I may sign up for it and see what kind of new information I can get. https://www.uga.edu/nchfp/exception_account.html -- Susan N.

No way I'm handing them that kind of information, especially when it has nothing to do with food preservation. Nyssa, who wonders if these folks have ever heard of identity theft or online security |

And they say why they need it. I'm bothered a bit, though, by the fact that it doesn't seem to be a secure page where the info is supplied. Believe I'll mention it to them, too. Maybe we all should.

I posed the issue to Dr. Elizabeth Andress, Project Director for NCHFP and she pointed that out to me, too. And my browser (IE 5.1 on a Mac) shows "internet zone" at the bottom of the window where I would expect to see the typical padlock indicated a secure site.

Netscape 7.1x tells me that it is a secure page with unsecured stuff on it and therefore my information may be compromised. I'm not sure I want to take the course if they require my SSN. I've had my identity stolen once before, took a year to clear up our credit and get it all straightened out and my credit card company notified me that we were probably one of the 40,000,000 identities stolen recently by hackers.

Yesterday my husband was busy shelling and freezing lima beans and I (with my broken arm) canned 14 quarts of tomatoes. Looks like more of the same today. Also need to do something with the okra. Too much for me who loves the stuff to eat. Maybe I will do the okra and tomato dish you put up on RFC last year. -- Susan N.
