Hello! I just joined today! I can tell I'm going to love it here. I'm a home schooling mom who lives just outside of Knoxville, TN. We only have an acre but make the most of it. Our wonderful neighbors have given us permission to use their pasture to grow corn. So far this week I've put up 24 dozen..... and more to go! Stop and say 'Hi'. Looking forward to making new cyberspace friends. Blessings! |

Actually I decided to forego the canning thing this year. My dh took me to the Bass Pro Shop where we bought a FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer. I absolutely LOVE IT! We have two freezers (one box, the other an upright) so I have no problem with storage space.....for now anyways  . Our two older kids did all the sealing. They had so much fun ~~~ they wouldn't let me near the thing!  . I canned my green beans but that was before we purchased the sealer. I'll definitely seal them next year. I'll save my jars for jellies, jams, & salsa.
I also put up 2 bushels of peaches with the sealer.

Hi Andrea,
Welcome from Texas! I miss growing corn, my nieces and nephews loved it when I would pan fry it with butter and onions... Good luck with the corn and hope you are caught up with the laundry!:O)

Thank you so much to those who have left such nice welcoming messages.
I'm enjoying it so much here ~ though I'm going to have to regulate my time on the computer a bit better. My laundry is piling up!
Opps!

Hello Andrea,
I sent you a longer message replying to your greeting, so this is kind of a re-run, but welcome from a west tennessee visitor. So good to meet you here. I love visiting here, and know that you will too. Good luck with that corn!

Welcome Andrea from the Northwest.
I've canned and frozen many a ear of corn. Corn on the floor, corn on the table, corn juice on your arms, corn in your hair, corn on the dog.........lol. But then you have all that great corn come winter and it's worth it. Woohoo for you!

It's like a giant sisterhood. I love it here. Enjoy reading the postings, and I'll look forward to reading some of your postings.
