Canning Season Starts ~ Strawberries ~ Random Tidbits


Ideally, if we don't get any of one vegetable or fruit, we just do without.   However, we picked up 12 quarts of strawberries.  I took care of six quarts yesterday, but only canned jam once.  Many went into the freezer.

Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Sandwiches ~ Tidbits


I've grilled many types of sandwiches, but this was a new one for us.  Delicious too.


I sliced my bananas, and put peanut butter on both pieces of bread (shown before I added the top bread), and grilled it in real butter.
