What to do with last jar when it is only half full?
Comments (8)For me it all depends on what the food is. Say you are doing pickles and you can only fill jar halfway, but you have enough brine to fill. Yeah in that case I'd fill the jar and process it with the rest. Pickles need time to turn into pickles. You could just put it in the fridge but since you have the brine - make pickles with it. We did B&B pickles today and had left overs - too much for a pint but not enough for a quart. So we put them in a quart and filled it with brine and processed them all. It looks funny - 1/2 quart of pickles floating in all that brine but at least I know they are safe and can be stored. ;) On the sweet relish - either approach is ok as long as making only 2 pints didn't overfill the jars. I would have done 2 jars to the normal fill line and, like the pickles, filled the 3rd jar with the leftovers and extra brine and processed it too. You can always drain it some when open.

Comments (31)Nice house. The ?taupe? color shown work really well. Or you could use a shade darker brown. The white trim works well for either. You do want the garage door and the garage trim to be the same color as the siding. You want your front entry door to be the focal point of the front of your home -- NOT your garage door. Would not complicate the fascia/trim at the peak of the forward facing gable over the garage only to leave the large blank space between it and the garage door, though you could add a practical triangle attic vent there. If you add "trim" without purpose to a gable, add it to every gable. If you don't like that large a blank wall space above the garage door, you could add a window (or two) or even faux window. and/or vertical trim https://www.lowes.com/n/buying-guide/exterior-paint-buying-guide and/or vertical with horizontal that, together, shrinks the space -- or something else in the middle of the space. https://www.etsy.com/listing/800927252/tree-of-life-metal-sign-metal-wall-art?ref=pla_similar_listing_top-2&pro=1&frs=1...See MoreWhat do you regret (not) doing when you remodeled your kitchen?
Comments (92)Love my: Pull-up KAid Mixer w pull out shelf below it; same setup for Food processor! I use my pot filler faucet at least 1-2x/day, even if just to wet the rag I use to clean the stove top or to add water to the pan I just scrambled eggs in. Love wide drawers (most are 27-36", with one 4 drawer bank that is 42") and no lower cabinets. Love my frameless cabinets that don't have a horizontal bar between drawers. They fit taller items than either inset cabinets or frameless cabinets with horizontal spacer bars. Walk in pantry w shelves to the ceiling. Shelves are only 9-10" deep in some places,but provide huge amount of space. Love my counter-top garbage disposal air switch. Hate my: dark Santa Cecilia Gold granite counters. I'm sooo sick of brown and gold fleck counters and sticking my hand in something sticky I couldn't see. Don't use the kitchen TV; it fights with the sound on the family room TV and DH gets annoyed by it. Wish I had: on demand hot water heater under the sink or in a nearby blind cabinet. Hate waiting til half the dishes are washed for the water to get hot. Best wishes! It's a crazy, stressful process....See MoreWhat to do with a Bloodgood Japanese Maple that's only half leaves?
Comments (16)If I do decide to prune the grey-maybe-dead branches ==>>> grey is dead ... not maybe dead ... on your last pic.. the cut would probably made to the right of your pic ... or you can cut it back there next spring.. when no viable buds pop out oif where you think they might ... but you can dismiss that though ... in my MI ... the wall would reflect winter sun.. and POSSIBLY cause the plant to go in and out of dormancy.. the heat build up.. on the bark or under it .... leading to exactly what you are seeing with your tree... dismiss it if you want ... though i doubt its an issue in the pnw ... but if your sure your location is irrelevant.. dismiss if you want ... trees grow in tree time.. counted in decades .. there is rarely a hurry to prune for aesthetic .. the easy answer is let it bud out next spring.. and then just prune out the dead stuff ... what exactly is your hurry ... but dismiss that also.. if you want ... ken...See MoreKit Evans
