So, here's my newest pet peeve. Why is it that everyone thinks they are so new and modern because they are canning? Do they have any idea how many years people have been canning? I myself learned to can as a young girl with my Mom and Grandma. I have inherited jars so old, I am guessing some of them are 75 years old, used by maybe 4 or 5 generations of my family. The thing is, that's nothing if you are a farmer. Farmers and their families have been canning forever, So why then do these new urban people think they are so cool and hip because they are canning? Get over yourself. A few years ago knitting was the rage, all the young girls wanted to do it. Now I find myself being a great minority with my handcrafts. If it weren't for the internet, the only other creative outlet I would have is my Mom and the Knitting Guild I joined, just to have someone to talk to about knitting.
So, point here is, you didn't invent canning, you just came to a party that's been going on for like 200 years. You are a little late.
