I'm sure this is no 'new' news , but is to me
Comments (18)My friend in Detroit had a pet store and with the moartality being as high as it is, the owner I know has to at least double the wholesale price to make a profit, and cover the losses from fish, that die on the way and also soon after delivery and before they're sold. I guess it's almost the same for other pets as well. I'm still wondering obout that on-line ordering, since I think it's a similar situation, where the price is high , but up to a certain point you can order many more fish for the same shipping price , provided they're not large fish. I guess in a sense the shipping direct wouldnt' be that different than many fish store owners get , since I know my friend had to order his fish direct from the breeders in Florida or wherever they came from and he'd have to drive a long ways to the airport to pick them up at the airport , I guess. I imagine though in some large cities the retailers might have local wholesalers to buy from??? I am thinking about "Freecycle" to locate possibly even a free aquarium, and setup, but I can't seem to get back on their site, and it's maybe a matter of fogetting my right memebership name and password. Seems I have so many different ones nowdays I can't remember them all sometimes, and I must start writing them down. I've heard of numerous people , who for various reasons decide not to continue their aquarium hobby and then just give away all their equipment and aquariums etc. I'd be willing to pay for a used one, but is there a problem with disease or "sterilizing' all that old equipment??...See MoreCanadian Living as a safe recipe source?
Comments (8)Hi All, Daniela Payne, web food editor for Canadian Living here. Canadian Living has always developed its preserving recipes using the safe-preserving guidelines outlined by Bernardin, the Canadian canning experts who produce home canning equipment. We always follow their guidelines to ensure our recipes have the correct pH (in other words, are high enough in acid) to make them safe to process in a boiling water canner. We also follow Bernardin's guidelines on processing times, making sure our jars are boiled for enough time to ensure that any bacteria is killed. That's inevitably 10 minutes or more, but times vary depending on the density of the food in the jars and the size of the jars themselves - the denser the food or the larger the jar, the longer it should boil to ensure that the centre comes up to the proper temperature. The best insurance is to always process jars for the amount of time stated in the recipe - never reduce it. For our new preserving book, The Canadian Living Test Kitchen updated and retested many of our classic recipes, so they are all safe to can at home. If you want to check the acidity of, say, a heritage family chutney you're unsure of, you can buy a pH meter from a reputable source and test your preserves BEFORE you put them into the jars. High-acid foods should have a pH of 4.6 or lower - these are the only foods safe to can in a boiling water canner. Anything with a pH greater than 4.6 is considered low-acid and can only be processed in a pressure canner. Hope this helps! Happy canning....See MoreCanadian mail order Acer Palmatum source?
Comments (6)Hi there, Gardenitis; on the main page click on the button on the left labeled 'Catalogues' - once you have gone to this screen you will see a link called 'retail price list 2009' - click on this link to see a pdf version of everything he offers organized alphabetically. Garcan; I can't remember if the Purple Ghost I got was the last one. It was a one gallon size and seems pretty healthy with lots of leaves so far...although I think I will move it in the fall after reading up on it's potential size. What did you get when you went? Isn't it a cool place? I have attached a link to my Garden Blog that shows all of my Acers including the two that I got from Whistling Gardens. Happy long weekend gardening!
