I agree, if your considering W.V. why look anywhere else! :)
Check out United Country realtors. It's how we found our place in W.V. We used the group in Spencer, W.V. I was really impressed. We were living in a different state and my mother-in-law died right before closing. They worked with us and we were able to close while in another state (not the one we were living in, nor W.V.!) for the funeral.

Suzanne, what do you do with all those egg yolks you have with the 7-Minute Frosting on White Cake? I think there's 6 egg yolks left over……..I just don't know what to use just egg yolks for……
Maybe I do and just can't think of it right now

Honestly, I just throw them out usually–or scramble them up for Coco! I don't usually have another purpose ready and I have plenty of eggs lately from my chickens.

Kraft had the opposite problem — too many egg whites left over after making their mayonaise. What did they do? They made marshmallows!

What to do with extra egg yolks? They make the best scrambled eggs EVER! Or make pudding (like tapioca). Measure them out and use them in place of whole eggs in just about any recipe. Most recipes assume a measurement of – what is it a quarter cup for one egg, or 3 eggs = 1/2 cup? – so just use as many yolks as it takes to make the final total for however many eggs the recipe calls for. For instance, if a recipe calls for 3 eggs, one whole egg and 4 yolks might come pretty close. When I do this, I really do measure, but have to look up how much volumn one egg is every time!
Or make egg noodles. That's what my grandmother always did…

and Pete, 1 egg = 1/4 cup (thanks wiki!)

ok, I lied…this recipe takes the entire egg…but it's a good one, so I'll post it anyway.
Here, make the pudding part of this recipe instead…it's great if you aren't feeling well…comfort pudding.

I am so excited to find this website. I have long thought myself to be a giant dork for my love of and desire to can. I just needed to fing my kind of people. I gleaned a potato field yesterday and have about 100 pounds of potatoes to put up. I'm looking for recipes other than the standard pressure cooked potatoes in water. I'm hoping to find some potato soup recipes that I could can and any other recipes/ideas.

Hi Suzanne! I'm new to this forum – actually it's my very first forum. I saw the section on canning, and I have a question. Today I canned about 8 pints of salsa using the boiling water method in my new Presto pressure canner. I followed the instructions to a T. The jars are resting/cooling on a towel and I noticed that in some of the jars there is a about 1/4" liquid on the bottom. Is this just the salsa separating or did water from the bath seep into the jars? I won't know if they all sealed until tomorrow morning. I've been to numerous web sites and cannot find the answer to this question. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Lisa,
I'm not the expert on canning, but I noticed your question. It's not at all unusual for tomatoes to separate after you can them – the watery juice and the tomato solids. It's not the canning water getting into the jars. The heat buildup in the jar forces air, and possibly a little liquid, out of the jar, not in. That air that escapes forms the vacuum that allows the jar to seal properly.
Check out this topic for information on canning, and a good place to ask your questions on canning:

Glad you are here!

Kathy is right. All you have to do is wait 24 hours after taking them out of the canner and when you wash them up, give them a good healthy shake. Likely they won't separate again but if they do, just shake em up.
HTH

who has 20 quarts of stewed tomatoes sitting here looking the same LOL

Morning! Thanks for the replies! I feel much better about the salsa as some of it has settled and when I shook one a little it all mixed. I just checked the lids and they are pretty firm – no up and down movement when I push on them. Is that the best way to check a seal? If you can't tell this is my first canning experience in my own kitchen. My grandma canned all the time and I didn't watch like I should have. Mostly I enjoyed whatever she canned – ha!

Hi, Lisa! I'm sorry, I was out most of yesterday, but as you can see, there are knowledgeable ladies here at any time! (Thank you all!)
And the same thing happens to my tomatoes and I didn't know you could shake the jar to resettle them so I learned something today!

Lisa, if you tap the jar lid with a fingernail, it will have a rather high "plink" sound.
An unsealed lid will "plunk" LOL.
OMG, I must come across as a nutcase 
Seriously – fill an empty jar with something liquid and a bit dense. Put a lid and ring on it. Tap the lid. Now tap a lid on a jar you know is sealed. Hear the diff?
I tap on my jars randomly when I go into the cellar room, especially ones toward the back of the shelf, to check that what I have stored is still sealed. Not too often that I find a "plunk" but it happens.
HTH?

Someone tell me what "HTH" means! It's driving me crazy – and I'm quite sure it doesn't stand for what I've made up in my mind!
The plinks and plunk noises are how I've always tested my jars too…passed down through generations of plinkers and plunkers.
