One of our roosters signed his own death warrant this evening. Elvis left the coop and won't be returning.
Sounds like a good start on the buckets. I get mine from a bakery in one of the grocery stores where we shop. Free if we take them dirty and a dollar if they wash them.

if I cant get them in my nearest town ,I then have to travel 38 miles to Aberdeen which is the main city in the north of Scotland
We're kind of out like that here as well. It takes all day to go shopping because of travel time.
Bitch bitch bitch about the travel. HAHA! I drive 100 mile round trip to work each day.. and days off i gotta go the same routs to go shopping.
Would you like a cookie? I'm baking raspberry chocolate chip ones tomorrow. I don't mind the trip so much, I like to get out of the house now and again.
Im good thanks.. i was just venting. Traveling makes home, however humble it may be, feel like the Taj Mahal to me!
I know I always relax just a little more when we pull onto our road.
I saw a sign at an oilfield office on the inside of the front gate that stated " You are about to enter the most dangerous place in the world.............Public roadways! Be SAFE! ".
been out this afternoon and bought some more storage containers, and 5lbs spaghetti, 6lbs macaroni,6lbs of fusilli, a heap of ham ,chicken and veg stock cubes
went to a local company that makes ice cream and got som 5ltr tubs and some1 ltr tubs for free free is a good word in my vocabulary
Free is good in my vocabulary also!
Free is one of my favorite words! Clearance is another one!
Thank you for starting this thread as I too was wondering about these items.
Once you start to can things and get comfortable with the noises the thing makes, you are going to find yourself canning everything that doesn't run faster than you do!
down here In South Texas we call stock cubes by the name of the maker. IE: Knorr suiza ( Nor sweeze a ).
It's a Mexican thing.
Don't ask, just accept it and move on. Hahaha!
When I see stock cube, I think of cattle feed.
Sorry sis, these are cubes for making stock for soups , stews ,etc etc. Hey ive got tubs and containers coming from all over, but still no buckets, think im gonna have to buy them somewhere
If the tubs and containers have good seals, just use them. You don't plan on a houseful of people. I do, so I need the big, honking buckets. The smaller tubs are a heck of a lot easier to move!
alright..i've only just begun looking into pressure cooker/canners...now my queston is this..is it best to go with 16 quart or larger?i've already come across a site with heirloom seeds,in which i'll be going with..but i diffently wanna start stocking up on whats needed for canning.. i came across this one for $71.00 Presto 16-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker and this one for $73.18 Mirro 22-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner what yall think?
I got the Presto 16 qt. it works well but simetimes I wish I had a bigger one because it will only hold 7 qt. jars, it takes so long to heat up, pressure can for 90 min. and then cool down. it takes a long time to do 12qts if I had the bigger one I could stack the jars and be done in half the time, but I don't know if the 22 qt is even big enough for that. I'd like to get this one but we can't afford it right now.
