Yesterday I put away over 2 dozen pints of home made turkey broth. It is a wonderful thought to know that when I make soup or anything else that requires broth, I can go to my pantry and get out a jar or two.
I know what's in it, and I did not have to pay money for it at the store! I consider it "free" because I counted the cost towards the meal the turkey was served at, and I have used my jars enough that I no longer consider the cost on them.
Technically, I should count the cost of the lid, since they are not reusable, so...maybe 10 cents a jar. Still alot better than what the cost is at the store!
I need to do a search on those tattler lids I have seen online. I wonder if they really live up to their claims.....hmmmm

This is wonderful!
Got this in an e-mail today:
After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
'Let me see if I've got this right.
'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.
'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their
handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard,a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
'You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . . I CAN'T PRAY?
