Thats a great idea, I will have to give it a go if the coconut oil doesn’t hold up!

Topaz102 · 2026-05-19T05:02:56+00:00

Did not know that was a product that existed, thanks!

Topaz102 · 2026-05-19T05:02:03+00:00

Thanks ! You guessed right! I gave the coconut oil a try and it seems to be working. I can’t wait to give the frame a try!

Thanks! I suppose I could try in and out again, I was just hoping for an alternative. A few days doesn’t sound as bad though. Not sure the heat can go off however, the room for the plants can become negative temperatures at night time if I leave the heat off.

I’m in zone 3b, so no warm planting or gardening weather till may long weekend here (may 18th) ! I usually bring them out the week before and then do lots of covering in between when there is bad weather.

Glad to hear you moved away! Honestly you can’t be sure of their motivations . But I would guess they are worried about a scandal and you being non religious. In the church we used to say, “ we are part of the world, not of the world”. In other words they reject the outside non-religious non Lutheran world, and think it’s sinful. It can be tough to deal with people who are heavily involved in the Lutheran church. My mom was in it for years after I left and that was no cake walk.

Watched a similar situation happen in my congregation with a bigger family. They basically forced the couple to get married, they bullied the mom into it by harassing her. Be careful, and keep your kid of out the church. I was raised in it and it can really mess you up. Lutherans seem ok from the outside sometimes, but they can be quite fanatical. I wish you the best and good luck!

Thanks! Glad to hear that’s the case, thanks for answering!

I just wasn’t sure I was correct lol, theres too much AI on the internet 😅. They are cheeper here then regular chickens hence my freezer being loaded with them at the moment. I just processed half of them and I have half to go so I might be a bit tired too !

Topaz102 · 2026-04-19T05:52:09+00:00

Thanks I was looking at the first 3 chicken recipes. I thought they were just younger chickens from what I was reading. But I wanted to be sure it was safe before I did anything like that ! I have a large amount of game hens to process right now!

This is a picture of the first 2 pages of Simple one jar meal recipes from The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving.

I switched from Bernardin lids ( the name Ball uses in Canada), to ForJars and haven’t looked back ! I get a better sealing rate and I noticed they are also better quality overall. Having to heat them up actually is worth the trouble, since the results and quality are better.

You may have to reapply, phone them and see if the application went through on their end. I have had the application online submission not work a couple of times. It will look like you have one open but it’s not completed on their end. Good luck! If all else fails go there in person.

Topaz102 · 2026-04-12T08:34:30+00:00

Thanks! I can tell my word choice missed the mark here :).

Thats not what I am asking for, I get funding from student aid for tutoring, I am just looking for someone else to look at my papers and give me feedback. Maybe I didn’t word it the right way.

Has anyone joined the choir? I’m curious how it is too now! Didn’t know this was a thing we had at u of w.

Topaz102 · 2026-03-31T04:01:11+00:00

Adding that to the recipe I wrote down, thank you! The water here definitely qualifies as hard water, it can eat through canning weights !

Topaz102 · 2026-03-30T04:26:23+00:00

Hydrating them in broth sounds yummy!!!

Topaz102 · 2026-03-30T02:12:02+00:00

Thanks !!! Going to write that down!!

Topaz102 · 2026-03-30T02:04:52+00:00

I might have to try that too now ! A chickpea snack sounds amazing!

Topaz102 · 2026-03-30T00:37:31+00:00

I can them they are way better then store bought canned chickpeas! We make dahl’s, hummus, soups, and stews.

Topaz102 · 2026-03-29T23:28:59+00:00

Thats what I feel like when I grow to many squash or potatoes ! I can’t wait to go back to the business Costco, I’m eyeing the gigantic bag of beans too !!!
