Uh I didn't specify very well did I about the recipes ~ ! I am sorry...I was looking for individual items featuring the fruit or veg...haha I am a mess in the middle of the night I guess. Made brandied peaches and also fig preserves. I picked lots of summer apples tonight from my DS1 's tree and will make tomato and apple chutney tomorrow. Also I am making strawberry preserves and I found a wonderful sounding fig and lavender jam that I am going to make. I don't sleep when I am worried about stuff...I have a son that is having lots of ongoing problems...many many years of sleepless nights. Good to hear from you. I am glad it was cool for you. We just had another "po' down" as they say in the south so no hoses again tomorrow. Yeah...lots to can so would like cooler weather but they say no more rain and 90's...oh well. c

You answered your own question... The vast majority use the Fuji Frontier System, which is a *Great* system. Most of the machines get calibrated weekly, with a standard setting. Costco- funny thing that you mentioned that. The tech printed out my pics and they were horrible. I gave them a little bit of my opinion, and went on. The pro-lab here cost 2.5x more, but when I want it perfect - I pay it. When I know people are not critiquing my work I print at whatever store is closest, most convenient.

Welllllllll I see a nurse Practitioner and I have never ever been as happy with my health care...For the first time in my life I feel I'm a partner in my own health care...I see someone that isn't embarrassed to whip out a computer and check the drug she is getting ready to prescribe me...Gosh her ego doesn't keep her from listening to what I have to say..somewhere along the line, no one told her that her patients were supposed to bow down and kiss her feet before she could discuss my health with me....OK i know this has nothing to do with the subject at hand but the comparison was made and I'm so tickled with my health care provider I'll stand up and fight for her...She is the best I have ever had ..so dont be so quick to rule out an alternative person...If that's what you choose, so be it but you can't make a blanket statement about every Optometrist or Optomologist etc etc etc This post was edited by ruthieg__tx on Wed, Jul 31, 13 at 16:58

Only if I were 100% certain! and if I could do something else while there, although you won't have much time: 6 hours driving plus an hour, say, for the stop and a snack, there's your day. On the other hand, someone drove 4 states to buy my dad's tractor, a full day drive each way. I drive 2.5 hours each way to pick up my son from school, but don't think I'd do it for a cabinet. One good thing though: do you listen to audiobooks? You could get a lot of listening done!
