Here is a wonky lid (from the factory--center front) on some hot pepper relish we canned. I'd never seen one like this, Pat said it came out of the box "as is". I didn't notice it until we were done canning, it sealed ok. This particular jar is at my in-laws refrigerator as you read. :)
The temps have been wild....one day in the high 90's (heat index of 108) and then the next night 57! Three days ago I sweated and sweated working on fence, it was HOT--upper 90's again! This morning I get up, it's 52!
We have been doing more canning and freezing ('tis the season ya know!), one large Zucchini will yield about 6-7 cups shredded (I've lost count how many bags we've got in the freezer). Zucchini bread is a favorite around here in the winter time.
I'll write more later in the week, today is supposed to be turkey butcher day....we'll see how that goes! ;)
Janene, I'm glad to see that you are still well and busy storing away food for the winter. The weather has been extreme here as well. Friday it was 98 degrees and this morning it is 55 degrees. Go figure. I kind of fits in with the year we have been having. My zucchini succumbed to the dreaded vine bore. I didn't understand the life cycle of the bore and all my four plants died from the nasty little bugger. Next year I'll be ready and willing to attack the the eggs laid on the base of the plants to keep them from hatching out the baby bores.
