We invested in a 22 qt pressure canner and so far canned Lamb Made homemade spam. We have canned beans, potatoes chicken, hamburger and soups. We can about every other day. The canned potatoes are nice homemade potatoe salad yesterday. We also have more dried potatoes and carrots and veggies.
What kind of potatoes did you can? Russets?I have canned potaoes but they end up being mushy
perchance I am leaving in too long?
I had a perfect place for sale but it was in MS. My inlaws home sold a couple of months ago. 40 acres, brick ranch with a well and a fish pond. First people who saw it bought it! Thank God! The alcoholic woman was driving us crazy! My hubs was only charging her 250.00 just to keep a car in the carport! She was a NUT!Firstly, price. Renting a house in the country outside of austin is very expensive. Probably close to $3k a month. Secondly, I won’t be doing this gig forever, and then I need to be closer to the tech market. Now when I retire, I can do anything I want. Lastly, availability (shudder).
And then there’s the move itself. I’m not physically able to do it.
Same in Kroger today! The sheep were buying chips/cola with their stimulus checks! Don't get me started!Not a food shortage, but went to Walmart in Georgia today and the TV shelves looked like the toilet paper aisles last week. I asked a worker about it and he said they don't have any in the back either. I suppose everybody got their tax refund and the covid stimulus and went shopping for a new tv.
Sweet Alice brand from Amazon! Had an expensive FoodSaver gave it to my son, we like this brand better! We use it every week.Don't one that triggers the cycle by sticking the bag in a slot.
Look for models that you have to place the bag and flop the lid and push a button to start the cycle.
The automatic ones are a pain and use too much bag material.
I noticed the same thing here last week. Not a tv to be found. I was wondering if the supply lines on things like that have dried up?Not a food shortage, but went to Walmart in Georgia today and the TV shelves looked like the toilet paper aisles last week.

Hamburger rocks.
Yeah it would. All we need to do is cover it with plastic for most days. When it is really cold, a small tiki pot inside seems to work. Nothing more is needed where we are. Other areas? good luck!
What part of GA do you live?
And, they have dedicated their lives full time to this pursuit, dad and IIRC maybe 4 adult children. I didn't read the article this time around, and haven't kept up with them for quite a while, but studied their setup seriously way back when. Their idea is to prove what CAN be done, and they've done a great job, but even they I think admit that it's unreaslistic for most people with jons etc. to do even close to all that (they even make their own fuel!). Still very inspirational and great ideas. We can always do more.This family is good for inspiration, but keep in mind that LA, where they live, has nearly a year-round growing season. In colder climates, it would require covering the back yard with green houses to replicate what they’ve done. It’s possible, just a little harder in a cooler area.

Yes, this. Look for a "waxy" type potato... often sold for making potato salad. Dunno about the time... I haven't looked it up recently.What kind of potatoes did you can? Russets?
I always can Yukons or Kennebecs--they have a tighter texture to begin with.
Time is 40 minutes at the appropriate pressure for your elevation.
