July 11, 2009 - "Want something different then try Dandelion Jelly" By Joseph Parish. Here we are at the end of spring and the beginning of summer and a quick glance at our yards will reveal an abundance of those little yellow dandelions popping up everywhere. Other then using them in making some delicious homemade dandelion wine or as an addition to our evening salad, there is one other tasty treat in store for us.

Canning that tasty Lobster

April 19, 2009 - "Canning that tasty Lobster" By Joseph Parish. During the Y2K scare I was determined to not only be really prepared but to do it in style. Now when I say really I mean really. I didn’t want to just survive. I wanted to do it in a style that I was accustomed to. I went out and purchased a 30 plus foot motor home specifically for Y2K and proceeded to equip it with the finer things in life. I stocked up on bottles of red and white wine (This was really a good excuse I think), cans of crab meat and of course lots of canned shrimp and lobster. It was not until later after Y2K that I discovered exactly how easy and economical it was to can my own lobsters in place of purchasing those cans which were already done. Click here

Warm up your winter with canning

April 8, 2009 - "Warm your winter with Canning" By Joseph Parish. I dare say there is no better way to spend weekends than canning local vegetables, peaches, berries or apples. For being a northern state Delaware winters are not really that bad weather wise. Here is the middle of December and our temperatures today were close to seventy degrees. Not bad at all for winter.
