@@Countrygrrl, why not? No judgement - I get that for any given individual there could be thousands of absolutely valid reasons not to - just curious.

Well between owning my own business and running the critters my garden is often lacking. We had a green house for a few years and a great garden but it takes about an hr a night to take care of a garden. We have an orchard and I don't can either ???? but we all trade/ barter with one another in our area

@@Countrygrrl, sounds to me like you're living the life already. What sorts of animals have you got? And I hear you - I think the only reason I'm able to keep on top of principalship, livestock and the garden is because I've only got 1.5 acres which makes it pretty easy - I've got it down to about 30 minutes/day of work to keep the farm going with 1/month 3-hour upkeep days.

Been MIA from this thread while gearing up for law school finals and graduation, but I just wanted to pop in and thank you for these wonderful recipes AND congratulate you on reaching the century club! Woo hoo 100!

Catsup!!! I am excited to try so many of these delicious recipies. I am going to make caulibread this week, in fact!

I do have a request. Can you do a great BBQ Sauce recipe? I am all about grilling this time of year (and in the winter if I can get my husband on board!!!) and I would greatly appreciate a bari-friendly BBQ sauce recipe. Sometimes I slather the meat while it is grilling but a lot of the time I like to take my teeny tiny bites and just dunk a corner into the sauce.

Blackberry Barbecue Sauce

I'm also actively working on a more traditional sauce, but i must say, despite coming about largely by mistake this one is surprisingly good

@@Jewelgirl04, thank you for celebrating with me! And good luck to you on your finals - I'm sure your'e eager to be done. I'm so thankful to be out of grad school myself and still sometimes question why I went back for post-graduate work. Let me know what you think of whichever recipes you try.

@Smye Thank you! I have everything on had except for ginger root. I will pick some up today when I go to town and give this a try. Looks like grilled something is on the menu tonight!

@@Sreeves, let me know what you think!

@@nervous nana, wow, September is so close, congratulations! Let me know if there's anything you have pre-op that you want to be able to have again post-op and I'll see what I can do. And thanks for your comment, it feels excellent to be able to share.
