Hi Ruth,

-> I understand. Had the last of the chicken & chick peas (for supper) I'd
-> made in our tagine when we first got it (too hot to use the oven much
-> now). Made sure I got some Lact-aid to help me with the beans.

 RH> I wonder if one of those would fit in a gas grill (if you don't have
 RH> that upper warming grate, at least).

Measure it and find out; the tagine is about 8" tall. We blanched
tomatoes and peaches, then pressure canned them on our grill's burner
Monday. Saved a lot of heating up the house for the 33 pints we did. The
peach butter (8 half pints) and chili sauce (5 pints) were done stove
top so they could be monitored (stirred) more frequently. No canning
today, just bread baking.

->  ML> say, quit doing this self-indulgent nonsense, there's
->  ML> only one God (my formulation: there's a maximum of only
->  ML> one God), and you're not he.

-> Man can only make feeble attemts to imitate God--and a lot of times even
-> those attempts end up in failure.

 RH> I'd say most of the time they end up in failure; the rest of the time
 RH> they end up on YouTube or America's Funniest Home Videos.

Got that in a nut shell. YouTube has become the "go to" for viewing
things like that as it's instantly available.

-> A good one for hot & humid weather as ours has been. Figures, I did most
-> of my canning on the hottest days this week but the peaches and tomatoes
-> needed putting up NOW!

 RH> It's too bad you don't have a summer kitchen; old houses often had a
 RH> second stove in a lean-to or the basement.  The old houses often had a
 RH> room down there with shelves meant to store preserved foods.  Add in
 RH> the slop sink for water, and you're in business.

I suspect Steve's first apartment in Swansboro started out that way. We
just made do with the kitchen here; the gas grill was a big help on
Monday.

Catch you later,
