Memories yeah, of preteen end of summer in a large family. Being the oldest shelling bushel after bushel of beans, peas, creaming corn and peeling tomatoes . Oh that is after picking all this. Then the blanching, canning *and packaging.
Come to find out after I got married my wife did the same thing, at some event someone suggested buying bushels of something and then canning (to them it was romanticized), at the same time we both said "bullchit,
our family had to do that to survive"!
Although when she wants something special from pickling to canning, she will happily do it.
Love the post willy.
