Over @ Emptywheel, I posted a YouTube link to Ry Cooder for EW and her recent posts. Here’s a link for Jane and all she’s been doing on this issue, Tom Petty with I Won’t Back Down.

About what I’d expect: you can’t possibly ezpect people with lots of money to actually use it.
(I keep being told that that’s how they keep score: the amount of money they think they own. I don’t understand that, but I don’t have that kind of money, either.)

I bought a chest freezer, as I’m single and thought that would be plenty. Marion in Savannah bought an upright for convenience (she didn’t want to bend over & dig). Had I to do it over again, I’d do what Marion did. First of all, my freezer is full, and I didn’t do fruits, as I bought it after most of the seasons were over. I did go nuts on soups, and of course, BB. But it is a drag to find stuff in the chest. It cost on $250, and I didn’t price the bigger one, but the convenience would probably be worth it.

Also, make sure you don’t buy a frost free. Not only does it use a lot more electricity, but frost free works by increasing the temperature to the point at which the fan will evaporate the moisture. You don’t want that to happen to your food that’s in long-term storage.

Also read a book about how to manage it. Here’s my recommendation. Another important point is to keep an inventory of what’s in it, update it every time you add food or subtract it. Otherwise, you’ll end up with stuff that’s really old in the back or bottom

In addition to general instructions on canning, freezing, drying, pickling, I’ve tried several of the recipes and like them. My favorite preserve recipe is on p. 204.

I was looking forward to seeing it tonite up close and personal, alas not to be and the clouds are obscuring it here at sea level… That site has the temps posted too…
