  Oh, which just reminded me, we were talking about canning food at coffee break this morning. Is this becoming a lost art?
Are there any people under 40 who know how to do this? Those of us at coffee that fall in that age range couldn't. What would happen if the world as we know it ceased to exist (a la urlLink Day After Tomorrow which is only being released today and I can't wait to see - I love a good escapist picture with lots of special effects) and we had to preserve our food somehow?
Well, we in Canada definitely would need to preserve our food. I found lots of sites on canning, including urlLink this one , but I guess that wouldn't help me much if everything went. Better print it out and keep it just in case!
