Selling jams and jellies - "best by" date?
Comments (6)I was joking - people would think the quilted ones were fancier so I could ask more. Ball does more for the jars (haven't checked this year - last year was about $12/dozen compared to $8 for plain - and I just picked up 2 unopened older BOXES of quilted from Goodwill for $8/doz). Jars just keep going up each year. It was just 2-3 years ago I could get a dozen plain jars for $6.77 at WM, now it's at least $7.97 - maybe more this year. And I need lids too. Used my last box of RM lids, had to open a box of new lids& bands (I got a couple of those on clearance at grocery store last year). Still reusing jars (after we empty them I wash old lids & bands and store jars with those on top so can just pop jars in canner to heat and not have to wash again - just wash and heat new lids). Oh, and by the time I got the last jar filled the pan had set 5 minutes (I'm slow when I have to skim) and still floating a little. But I think part of it is that this is a syrup, not a setting type jelly/jam. Didn't cook it long enough (or have enough natural pectin) for that. Popped in a couple of replacement cherry toms today (broken stems) but holding off on more since it supposed to be 45 tonight (!) and I have to prep for market. Ones I planted 2 days ago look good, others are starting to look better now that it's dried out a *little* (only 1" of rain in the past 6 days), I'll fertilize tomorrow. Did you get a chance to look at my post on the Tomato thread? Do you think N only (bloodmeal) or light balanced fertilizer (Neptune's Harvest is liquid, can use that, maybe as a foliar feed, with only 30% chance of rain this weekend I guess, it's a 2-3-1, don't know if I need the P&K though since soil was pretty good, figured just N washed out?)? Time to go pick strawberries, clean the wet hay of the truck bed and start packing it for market. With all the tomato plants and the jams, fresh strawberries, I have to see if there's room on the table for some herbs (sprigs of oregano, I just got some tarragon from a friend last night to plant, and my cousin's mint)? Maybe some kale?...See MoreUse by, Sell by, etc
Comments (8)well, I got an immediate automated response which basically said they MIGHt include my querry in a Q&A. they did cite a number of press mentions including this from the NY Daily News (July 20l0): "Janice Revell, who lives in the city, and her mother, Jeannie Revell, who hails from Canada, launched StillTasty.com in February 2009. The site logs 250,000 to 300,000 visitors per month - and more near the holidays." They do seem to be picking up a fair amount of advertising and got a lot of press mention. Wonder if I can use this to get my daughter and granddaughter to clean out the fridge once in a while. Kay...See MoreAcrathane (by MCP) deck coating, know it?
Comments (1)Is that a sealer/coating finish app for a 'Kool decking' surface? I'm not familiar with the product, but my advice is to follow the instructions to a T. Forget about what your contractor says works for him. He wants to finish the job and get out. I've been told by my concrete paver installers to wait 45 days before sealing. Mine is a mortar install, but since yours is freshly poured, you absolutely need to give it time to cure. What's 20 more days? :)...See MoreHas anyone used Dynasty (by Omega) inset cabinets?
Comments (9)I have Omega custom entirely, but I do have inset shaker style doors with a bead. I love them, they're gorgeous and wonderful quality. I'm not sure if your dealer has mentioned it, but you can mix Dynasty and Omega if you need something that Dynasty does not have (Buehl did this). Use Dynasty for the bulk of your cabs and then do the island in the black from Omega (they do an antiqued black finish and can do it on any door that either dynasty or omega make). On a personal note, I'm totally against the island in a different color as I think this will be a dated thing soon, but if you have the right kitchen, and are shooting for an unfitted look, than do the island in a totally different finish and door style that flows well with the others to make the look make sense. If you don't...well that's ok too :) It's your kitchen! These are all unfinished pics...sorry: As to the custom verses dynasty or omega...If I lived in the lower 48 (ok i forgot, I now do LOL) I would use a custom cabinet maker as they would be cheaper than the Omega custom kitchen and probably easier to deal with, but in Alaska, I had less options. Either way, I don't think you'll regret dynasty or omega...they're both lovely (the difference is higher end finishes and totally custom for omega by the way, but the same company makes both). If you look at Buehl's kitchen you'll see that the two are seamless when mixed...See More- 6 years ago
