@Slippintrippn84 - I have never tried to can them, and I think that might make them toooooo salty being stored like that - but I wonder if you could try freezing them in batches?

Ah yes! I visited these in Tokyo, and again in Kanazawa. They are wonderful, if not pricey!

Also the lids aren't popping outwards.

@lona, well, I cooked the tarragon in the jam for about 7 minutes, then processed them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, I think that should have killed anything.

Yep! I always cook a lot of soups/stews and casseroles, and portion them in quart-size Ziploc bags and freeze them. I also keep tamales, prebaked quiches, and prebaked potpies in the freezer for ...

@Rev. Bee T - Borax is harmless to pets and children in small doses, but you wouldn't want them licking up a lot of it. Keep it away from food, and try to minimize your pets' exposure to it.

@beatabiernat that will be next Thursday's post! :)

I actually make my (non-vegan) tamales with chicken broth, which is yummy and healthy because I don't use lard. From here you can then add whatever you want to the masa, e.g. chicken/green tomatil...

yeah, I thought that was so odd, too!

Our 1890's SF Edwardian has never had a rodent problem (THANK GOD!) but it is good to know the steel wool trick. I hope I never have to use it.

Well, I went to the Farmer's Market and bought waaaay too much fresh produce. So far I've made daikon, turnip, turnip green, okra, and asparagus pickles. I also made a big batch of spaghetti sauc...

@EmmieB Actually, Rapunzel's mother was craving māche, not rhubarb. http://www.th...

Massa rice is really good - I buy it at the SF farmer's markets when I can afford it.

Uncanny timing, I just bought ramps the other day and am pickling them this afternoon.

This is also a good idea for eggplant.

I can do leftovers the next day for lunch and then I am sick of them. If I make big portions of something, I usually portion it out in quart-size Ziploc freezer bags and freeze them. (Protip: usi...
