Sometimes my son and I find a common word strange and funny and can't stop saying it and laughing. I guess we're weird. :P I had to laugh when you said ‘quart’ is a funny word.

You don't have to heat up the house. I bought one at Bass Pro Shops during their day after Thanksgiving sale. I haven't canned on it yet, but it works wonderfully with my cast iron and tent!

I have some more eggplant to preserve, too, and I may do the blanching/drying with that.

I usually roast it and freeze it, but I have a super over abundance of eggplant and I need more preserving ideas! How do you use dried eggplant?

The only thing I have managed to do is freeze some corn that I bought from Gritts Farm from a man on the side of the road. The best corn I have ever ate!!! :hungry: I would like to can some peaches. I just bought a fancy Ball water bath canner this year and I haven't used it! :? I don't have a pressure canner. Can't wait to see your post on pressure canning! :wave: I wish I had the time and the veggies to can this year.

You have been BUSY!! I love that you get all that stuff for free! Great idea, and none of it is wasted. The unedible things are good in the compost. I go out of my way just to get things for the compost! I'm a good scrounger too. I also trade for things that I want. I have to learn to can stuff... Wow! You have been BUSY!!

But the benefits you and your family will reap are untold; you're doing good things environmentally, nutritionally, economically . . . I'm sure one could write a post on that topic alone. I think you inspire all of us to get off our duffs and follow suit. It's all part of re-learning to do for ourselves. We could be oh-so-much-more self-sufficient than we are. I personally feel we could solve a lot of society's problems by doing so. Thanks for being so consistent with your always interesting, funny, and worth-while posts.
