I have canned for many, many years and I have never used an electric kettle. For some reason, Vince bought one earlier this year. I think he was using a French Press for his coffee and that's why he bought it but he didn't continue to use it so I told him I would like to try it with my canning. I don't know how I made it without this thing. It has several settings - five or six maybe. One ...

It was on August 9 that Chad had his accident and then about August 10 that I decided to ...

Last night when I went out for the last time with the dogs, there was this adorable little frog on one of the turmeric plants. Doesn't he look so sweet, with his little front "paws" tucked under his little chin? He thinks he's safe because he's the same exact color as the big leaf and and nothing is going to see him or bother him. I wanted to bring the pot and the plant and the little frog ...
