I vacuum seal in a jar.

I bought streaming tablets in place of bleach for sterilizing surfaces, but I don’t know if that can be used for drinking water. Anyone know?

Sorry, that should say Steramine not streaming.

When our kids were young they enjoyed the critters and got involved in 4-H

We grew some sweet potatoes this summer and am hoping that they will store well in our basement cold room. I have thought about canning some, but thus far have not canned sweet potatoes. We leave the dirt on our potatoes when we dig them up.
We have turned off the heating ducts in the basement and we have an insulated room that is vented to outside (we can open and close the vent. We grew what has been called above ground sweet potatoes, it is a variety of a winter squash that we have never grown before, they are huge! We have never tried to winter squash.
We are in zone 6, SW Ohio.

Your mom looks great Wanda! You favor her. ❤️

Very nice! I would have never dreamed they were grown in containers!
Last year my husband dug up the potatoes only to find they were hollow! Something ate the insides in every one! We were so disappointed as they were good sized. I am hoping he gets them out of the ground before this happens again this year.
Hubby has dug up all the white potatoes and some of the varieties did very well this year. We do have odd ruts in our potatoes for the second year in a row now, not sure what is causing It, this is the second year we have seen that and he has been growing potatoes for 52 years now.
Our garlic this year was small, but he thinks he shaded it by planting taller plants too close. It wasn’t a big onion croup this year but picking up some at the store to get a bunch dehydrated. We planted sweet potato squash this year for the first time and those babies are huge! Hoping to can some of our winter squash, we have butternut squash also.
We are in Ohio on 3/4 acre. I am using the electric/digital canners now to can small batches at a time. After 52 years of canning and at age 73, I am thrilled to have these some electric canners, so much easier!

Azithromycin/Z-Pak put me in AFib, yet I had taken it many times before.

Grab up some of those Tattler reusable plastic lids, they are great! I do so much vacuum sealing of jars that I need to save a good number of tin lids for vacuum sealing.

We have a lot of fabrics because my husband quilts. We might end up walking around resembling a quilt but at least it’s fabric!
I have started losing weight and because I had so many sizes stored in a closet that got filled up, my husband convinced me to give them to charity, thinking I would never get into the smaller sizes again..wrong! Now I have dropped 3 sizes and had to buy some new pants….they are now about $50 a pair unless you can find them local on sale (which I did). I used to buy via catalog but didn’t like the prices for the clothes and for shipping and if these didn’t fit I would have to pay to ship them back!
I hear JoAnn’s Fabrics are closing in some areas!
You are right, there is much besides food we should be stocking up on. I got some heavy socks at Costco today. I actually saw they had heated socks, they were $69!!!
I keep thinking we need to get more sawdust and such for composting toilets, we live in the city now on 3/4 acre and if sewage plants stop working, we are all in deep trouble.
