RE: Full and plenty

I'm so jealous! I buy most of my lettuce from a local farm, but I really want to not be so dependent on them. I haven't been able to grow lettuce well. Next year, I'm going in big!

I solved one big canning problem, that of my kitchen heating up during the hottest months of the year, by getting a presto electric canner. And after twenty times, it does get less stressful. But it's still a major pain in the ass. I'm a big fan, now, of freezing food.
