I broke down and opened up a qt. jar of the chicken that I canned, only to find that it is...super good..."wunner full, wunner full," as Lawrence Welk used to say. I had canned it so that in the coming winter of 2011-2012 I would not need to go out and do a lot of shopping. Because my cooking has been limited right now due to "house work," have had to got for at least my my main meal of the day, several times this past week. So, I relented on self discipline and opened up a jar that kept beckoning me. Oh Man, yum, yum, yum! I am sort of sorry that I delved into my jars...but not too sorry.
Better than store bought canned chicken in a tin, no additives, no unknown ingredients, chemicals or creeping crud...just good, home cooked and preserved fare. I have another 30 lbs of chicken in the freezer that needs to be canned, if I ever get this home mess restored. The last meal out cost me $12.00 and a tip, so it was penny wise, as well, to dip into my stores.
Again, another day sitting and waiting; time lost, wasted. Basally, the repairs of this house should have taken about two days to complete, but it has been over a week now of being confined to less space and freedom of movement. Those boys(men?) need to get off the dime and finish up here!

Hi Mabel,
I sure hope you have not paid them yet. And I would call them up and tell them if they want paid they better get there and get it done. Seems like people don't want to work today but they sure want the money.
I bet that chicken was good. I have canned chicken before and plan on doing some more when I can get it done. I have several whole chickens in a freezer I want to cook and can up.
I too have had to dip into my store items a bit this month. We had some extra bills come in and money has been extremely tight. But I was grateful to have it there for such an emergency.
have a blessed night!
Love, Alice
