Nope, you can them in a water bath so you just need a pot that is taller than your jars. You can even get pre-mixed packets of pickle seasoning at grocery stores.
Yeah, we used them when I was in Boy Scouts for spelunking trips. A cousin of mine did the same when he was at Davis and Elkins College and in the caving and climbing club there. He said you learned very quickly not to look directly at the rope when climbing with a cabide lamp on your helmet.
I went to Davis and Elkins! Been to school house cave a few times! Interesting times at Friar Tucks and Brandy’s! You just brought backs some great memories from back in the early 80’s!

It didn’t occur to me until today to recheck our normally small supply of yeast for baking. Surprise...none to be found.
Yeast. Baking soda. Baking powder.
You can get powdered butter...and powdered or dehydrated eggs as discussed previously.

Thanks for posting this. Still time to cancel my order. Too bad because I thought it would be a fairly cheap way to disinfect the shop and workers.

When the CCP started 30 day, then 60 day mandatory quarantines in January over the Wuhan virus I started asking others ...
‘If you had to go straight home and stay home for a month or two, would you have enough food and supplies to last? Just think about it’
Last week after the panic had cleared shelves in MoCo, one person was angry at me because she had little in her house. Highly educated science nerdy type but zero ability of fore thought.
NOPE - refrigerator pickles are great. You boil water and vinegar and mustard seed, caraway, and I forget seeds,
slice the cukes, stuff them in mason jars with fronds (I SAID FRONDS)
of Dill, garlic cloves, peppercorns, and I forget, you pour your boiling solution over the cukes, let them cool, into the fridge, and really good pickles.

That's something I've been wanting to look into.
Stupidity has even hit here in Rehoboth Beach. At least the gas stations and most restaurants and bars are still open. Looked in both Giant and Safeway.

Hot sauce, in case I'm reduced to eating roadkill.
Pretty dramatic. Thanks for the pics
Came here yesterday returning to Fredneck Thursday. They have 5 different grocery stores along the main drag and a CVS and few other drug stores. Went out this morning about 9am and those were the pics. Everyone’s going batshit all over. Shopping carts full of perishables and frozen. All paper products gone.

Wife stopped at Whole Foods. They had lots of stuff. Guess their prices keep many away tho.
Local kosher grocery store has been much the same, albeit Passover shopping will probably clear out a bunch of stuff soon enough.
You didn't happen to know a guy by the name of Brian Ball did you? I think he would have been there around that time. He eventually owned The Red Fox at Snowshoe with his wife Margaret Anne where I worked for several years in the early 2000s.
I have family from there as well. Second cousin owned a B&B up on the hill and also owned the Star Bookstore and Cafe. Scotties, BTW is still going strong.
^^^See, price gouging works
