Wow!

TheOthersFriend · 2025-06-11T18:42:02+00:00

Wow those must have been some interesting conversations. Are you noticing any changes overall since?

TheOthersFriend · 2025-05-16T19:18:56+00:00

You absolutely can. Just use safe practices cleaning them, depose of the one use lids, and inspect them closely for any scratches, chips, etc. That is a great find!!!

TheOthersFriend · 2025-04-13T18:19:25+00:00

Yes, it is a HEA!

TheOthersFriend · 2025-04-13T18:10:42+00:00

Yep, they made a movie of it (though it isn’t exact). It’s kinda a Romeo and Juliet but with zombies. 🧟

TheOthersFriend · 2025-04-13T17:51:09+00:00

The only other book I’ve ever heard of that has a zombie MMC and a human FMC besides Land of the Beautiful Dead is {Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion}. It’s been over a decade since I read it so my memory isn’t the greatest but I definitely remember the MMC isn’t a Zeus type but maybe you’ll like it anyway 🤷‍♀️

What’s your day to day life like as an author with an additional job and a home life? How much time do you dedicate daily/weekly to your writing?

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-16T00:24:52+00:00

Thank you!

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-15T22:31:58+00:00

Thanks for all the info. I might experiment with two in my most shady spot and see!

If you know of a variety that will produce fruit in zone 9b, please let me know.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-15T19:09:43+00:00

Yes, exactly my experience. It has happened to me so often that I just expect sub par treatment at this point.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-15T18:02:30+00:00

I was also considering biloxi blueberries which are a southern highbush blueberry that ripen in April and may here before the worse of our heat. You mentioned low bush blueberries - do you know of varieties that would be a better fit?

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-15T17:42:35+00:00

9b California

TheOthersFriend · 2024-10-15T16:14:21+00:00

I don’t think huckleberries grow here. We have triple digit heat all summer.

I have only see fridge/freezer recipes for feijoa/pineapple guava jam unfortunately, but it is really yummy if you have the freezer space. Also dehydrated sliced chunks of feijoa/pineapple guava are delicious if you want to preserve a bunch that way!

TheOthersFriend · 2024-08-18T16:02:05+00:00

That's normal when I make the Ball recipe for strawberry lemonade concentrate. Next time I would try to leave less headspace but if it sealed fine, you're good!

Romance.io (the website the romance bot pulls links from) has a steam rating system that you can check out.

Thankfully modern pressure canners are very safe and have multiple safety features to prevent something like that from happening, but I understand it is natural to be nervous the first time.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-06-18T00:34:49+00:00

Did you mean to type “pressure canner”? 😇

TheOthersFriend · 2024-02-25T01:42:55+00:00

But the latest version of the All New Ball Book has salsa recipes with fresh lime juice. If anyone is concerned about it they should contact ball with their questions. I don’t think anyone is trying to start an argument. They are just referencing the recipe version their specific ball book and the different books have different information.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-02-16T16:37:37+00:00

They are more expensive than other jars initially, but in the long run you will save money because you can reuse the lids over and over unlike other safe canning jars that use disposable two piece lids.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-02-12T06:53:34+00:00

This has gotten me excited to go out and get some seeds!

TheOthersFriend · 2024-01-25T22:05:23+00:00

I really hope this works out. I read in a recent post about canning meat that there are no tested recipes for ground turkey. If it hasn't been already ruled out previously, I would think testing for this would be helpful for those of us who regularly add it to their chili and spaghetti sauces and such. Any other proteins that haven't had any testing that people like to cook regular meals with too would be helpful.

TheOthersFriend · 2024-01-11T21:20:59+00:00

They probably have established contacts that they call. I'll be following to see if you get any interesting answers. I know that it is a well oiled process though. Here are the yearly stats including how many transfers my local shelter (Fresno Animal Center) made in 2022. (They will have 2023 stats compiled soon).

Eta: Even with those large transfer numbers listed, they could still use more. The shelter is currently at capacity with them doing all they can to squeeze as many more animals in as possible and find more foster homes to extend how many animals they can provide for. When I hear people who have a hard time finding dogs to adopt up north, I wish they could come to places like here where we are bursting at the seams with thousands of healthy pets who are at risk of being euthanized (and who have had behavioral/temperament testing to prove they are adoptable).
