AHAHHAHAAA! We win!

We got a letter from the unemployment office which stated, basically, that ISU did not provide any evidence that Brian was terminated due to his performance (which would invalidate our unemployment claim).  In other words, they've finally (in at least one place) admitted that Brian's non-rehire was not due to him.  *sigh*  That's very heartening.

Sounds like things are lining up well. That is seriously a lot of tomatoes. Good lord.

A cubic possomweight... *headshake* I'm not gonna be able to get that image out of my head for days. ;-)

I got your recipe via your webpost--it looks good!

OUTSTANDING!

Lordy that's a lot of tomatoes! We just put up a bit over ten quarts yesterday and felt overwhelmed. Several questions, if you'd be so kind: Do you have help? Do you do one batch at a time? Do you have a pressure canner? How on earth does one fill a couple dozen jars in less than ten minutes (so the clean jars stay hot) without having to reheat them?

This was my second (and most ambitious) canning job, and though I am eager to continue, I'm also very keen to learn how to do it "properly" (but not overly fussily) and streamline my assembly line. I'd dearly appreciate any tips.

*whoooo* lessee, how do I do this, anyway? I haven't ever had to write it out before. This should be instructive
