Out of Stock

Popped down to the hardware store to pick up some wide mouth canning lids, and got the very last package in the store.  The dear lady who runs the housewares department told me that she had ordered 46 cases and each case holds 36 packages, or 1656 packages of lids, and they are completely sold out and back-ordered from the warehouse.  Last year, they didn't run out at all, and she had ordered only 40 cases.  The canning season is no ways near over, and they are out of stock!  Guess I'm not the only one getting prepared for a hard winter.

I dropped in at the "Recycler" and managed to pick up a package of wide mouth lids for 25c, so I'll be good to go for at least today and tomorrow.  I've got more carrots to get ready and some corn to ready to can.  I also have some apples I want to can: apple sauce and apple chunks for apple crisp, pie, etc.

Took a few minutes to add some links to some of the blogs I follow.  Hope you enjoy!

By the way, if anyone knows a recipe for cauliflower and corn relish, I would love to have it.  An old neighbor used to make is all the time, but she passed on unexpectedly, and never shared her recipe.
