This week, most of my spare time has been devoted to this… I am new to canning, and the first couple of days that I plugged away at this pile of produce (from Sustainable Eats Tomato Army Order), I felt like I had ordered way too much and gotten myself in over my head. I didn’t know what I was doing, so every batch was accompanied by endless internet searches and second-guessing.
In the spirit of disaster preparedness and zombie attacks, I present to you this super-cool disaster planning tool. I’m not being end-of-the-worldish here, but I think this kind of thing is a good exercise that can bring to light some of the areas in which your household is disconnected with your community. What I want to know is where is the little zombie icon under the “What to do if…” section? What to do if… ZOMBIES!
I ended up skipping one of the weeks of this challenge (preserving in vinegar), because I’m super disorganized these days. I didn’t have vinegar, my basil went bad, I ended up eating all my cilantro, etc. etc. The timing never ended up working out. But just so all of you know, you can preserve things in vinegar! Things like herbs (think salad dressing) and other veggies as well. I may end up getting to it later or I may not.
