Ridley Acres Agree with you there. It was interesting to watch the bees. The crazy cost of the bees as they became trendy to do is nuts. Our hives would take a beating every year. The late winter storms and cold, wet springs would do in at least half of our hives that made it through the winter. Finally gave it up after 10+ years, maybe will re-attack after a break.
processhead my mom still has a few jars like that. Even has one I swear is a lead screw top.
I think it’s less about beans or no beans and more about whether it identifies itself as chili. 😆
processhead I have two of those. I don’t can with them, just a keepsake item on display. I don’t know when they were produced, would be interesting to know.
Not sure of the source, but a couple of sites show them from the 20’s and produced in Canada.
Anyone know for sure???
cdavis The off brands have really caused me much problems. My loss is at the point that without name brand lids, I will not can. When I see them in the store, I stock up. Keep about a gross of each on hand all the time.
My guess is that there may have been a size problem or some kind of metal that expanded beyond normal causing it to do what you showed. It could have been other things, but regardless, you now have waste. So sorry you had to deal with this.
GWG8541 You are so correct that we must pass this way of life on. Part of the reason that I would love to see a Meatgistics cookbook. When you think of the skills and talents the people on this site have, it is overwhelming.
As long as you have all the things they taught you, your parents live on. I hope you have someone to pass them on to. I am fortunate enough to have a couple of kids that really want to learn the ways of the past.
I’m very glad that you are part of the Meatgistics family.
Cabelas90 How did your people count vs pork work out?
Cabelas90 That’s a good yield. Must be very moist. Good Job.
