Hi Patches,
Thanks for your offer to help me with canning. I was raised on a farm
where we grew and preserved all of our own food, so have lots of
experience. Now, 70+ years later, I'm just having fun doing the few
things we really enjoy. A couple relishes and the occasional jam or
jelly. The soup seemed like a nice change from freezing, and I'll
probably do a few more things like that. I'll be watching the things
you do..and this group... for some good ideas.

Geez, Jillie, I though you were in your early 30s! You have a very young
mind, and I mean that in the nicest way.

Thank you, kind sir...

Maybe my young mind has something to do with the senility I mentioned
earlier.

Well, I didn't believe it for a minute. :-) Hey, I'm 60 and I have "senior
moments", but I've been having them since I was 30!

I'm still looking for a yellow plastic 1 cup measure I know must be around
here somewhere. Last used it to measure 2 cups of frozen juneberries for a
cake. After washing up it disappeared. I've looked everywhere, even out in
the garage (where BTW I keep a spare pair of eye glasses in the glove
compartment).

I was looking for my glasses last week... for almost 2 hours... looked
everywhere, several times, before I realized I was wearing 'em.

what were the juneberries stored in? Did you check in there? I lost my 1
cup measuring cup for 2 weeks! Looked everywhere - tore the kitchen apart.
Started to get angry and was gonna start blaming everyone in the house for
misplacing it. Then the other day I had to make another batch of muffins.
I make a double batch about every 2 weeks for the kids. Found the measuring
cup in the flour sack. And I'm only gonna be 41 next Tuesday.....;-(

Ah, but do you have any preserves older than she?
You can't count shoes as preserves, even if they are leather.

I've been plumbing my subconscious to find out what happened to the
measuring cup. You lie still and concentrate on picturing the measuring
cup in it's hiding place in your mind. It's peacefull and a lot less
effort than looking. Nothing so far.

Thanks. The berries are kept in a plastic container in the freezer
compartment of the 'fridge. I checked there before looking out in the
garage, and check the container again every couple of days in case it
turns up in there.

the nice thing about loosing the 1 cup measure, is that you can still
measure a cup using the 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2....I lost my bread machine paddle
twice. The first time, I figure it was in the hard heal of a loaf of bread
and got tossed. The second time (I had to buy a new one) it was between 2
plastic storage containers in the cupboard...tore the kitchen apart twice
and still didn't find it...until about 2 months later ;-)

can also measure 1/6 cup (1/2 - 1/3 or 2/3 - 1/2)
and 1/12 cup (1/3 - 1/4).

It's right next to the stainless steel one cup measure I misplaced last
week. Tell me where that is and we'll both have our cups back!

I did finally locate the baby food jar of extra salt I was using up.
For some reason I put it in the basket where I keep my measuring cups.
No, I've already checked the salt jar and the missing measuring cup is
not there. Nor is it in the flour bin which is the last place I can
recall using it moving flour from the collection cannister of my mill
into the storage bin I keep in the fridge.

I'm going to buy two more sets of measuring cups. Maybe I'll be able
to lay hands on one of them when I need it.

It won't work. I have three sets of measuring cups, one aluminum, one
yellow plastic, one elongated white plastic. That doesn't include the
two Pyrex measuring cups, a 2 cupper and an 8 cupper. Still can't find
the measuring cup I need. Especially after DW empties the dish drainer
or the dishwasher. Somehow she thinks stuff goes in different places
than I do. Bad part it's my damned kitchen, she only cooks her own
breakfast, I do everything else. Wimmin!
