When I was looking for videos on how to raise rabbits for meat about 4 years ago, your video was the first one I watched. I have watched your channel ever since. I still haven't raised any rabbits, but I continue to learn from your new and previous videos. This was wonderful!

In 1944 one of my older sisters married. And all household matters in clued in culinary arts she was well trained by our mother, who was also a fantastic but frugal cook. (it was WWll time) Sis’s mother-in-law, a 1st Gen Croatian woman- showed her a thing or two about frugality that even our mother didn’t use: Include onion skins & trimmings (minus roots) in a broth pot! Sis thought it so wonderful that she could teach her own mom ‘something new’. A favorite family story that has been passed down to my 8 sisters & 4 brothers

We always lived out in the country. Mom and my oldest brother went hunting for rabbits to supplement our beans which were our main source of protein. They would sometimes bring home 2 rabbits, dress them and we would feast. Cottontail rabbits taste better than Jackrabbits and is more tender. Tame rabbits don't have the good taste of wild rabbits but I still like to eat rabbit when I can afford it. Thank you for sharing.

@sonyiadouglas5432 8 ай бұрын

Hi Sarah, when dipping or pouring liquid’s from one vessel to another always put your ‘from’ vessel on the right and your ‘to’ vessel on the left, touching if possible. As you pour, any drips or runoff will go back in the original vessel and saves a lot of cleanup. This works for any job from straining broths to filling jars with any liquid, even jam/jelly. When I add liquid to jars I just line up the jars and slide them up to the edge of the pot. All the dribbling over the counter, gone! (Of course if you are left handed switch sides !) also, after years of tying my strainer to the handle of the pot I saw your spoon in the loop trick and I just love it!❤

Wow. My mom used to use a similar pressure cooker for years when I was a kid. I worked with it like I knew what to do, back then. When I saw it still sitting in my late parents house recently, I was looking forward to some of those meals my mom would make in it. But that was well over 30 years ago and didn't have a clue how we used it. I did some research and found that they are very dangerous if you don't know the proper methods - especially with the old ones. I definitely do not remember my mom timing before putting the weight on or any of those calculations! I'm glad it went in the dumpster - it would have blew up if I had tried using it. ;-)

My grandmother used to can wild rabbits in the 1930’s when my grandfather was out of work. That’s a lot of rabbits for a family of 8. She canned them in a hot water bath, not USDA approved, but that’s the way everyone canned in those days. Many people still do, but I would prefer pressure canning meat.

Since our canning harvest here in U.P. of Michigan mama hasnt spoke much of the Harvest Right machine so its gunna be a total surprise to her. I'm so excited. I finished her pantry and put some shelves in one spot that seem to stick out so I can un screw them quickly and put the machine in that spot for her. Already wired in a dedicated circuit. Only comment she had was " what an odd place for an outlet". I just told her I didnt have a junction box to extend a wire for the pantry lite. Hopefully ur discount code still works christmas time.

From a person who spent his career growing and selling celery. A stalk of celery is the entire bunch. Each individual "stick" is actually a petiole. We grew about 3000 acres of celery every year, in FL, OH, MI, GA, AZ, TX, and CA, as well as Canada and Europe.

Celery is related to lettuce and is considered a leafy vegetable. AZ grows a ton of leafy items in the winter. Texas is a challenge but celery does ok in Siuth Texas. There's a lot of celery grown in Mexico but I was never involved in that region. FL grows a decent amount but it's harvested December thru April. Celery does best with cool nights. That's why it dies so well along the Pacific ciast. It can tolerate some frost as well as some heat, so it's a bit more hardy than lettuce.
