I was talking to my hairdresser the other day (who by the way is a veritable font of wisdom as many hairdressers are) and we were discussing how ridiculous it is that I have an apartment on campus with a bathroom, a bedroom, and a living room but no kitchen. I do have a freezer however, and once Robin found that out, she gave me a great idea: this summer I'm going to can. No, that was not a grammatical flub on my part, Robin's going to take me canning in May when I get back from school. She said it's very easy - all you have to do is boil up a vat of your favorite fresh spaghetti or soup, then pressurize it in a canner and pop a top on it. Buying a canner can be expensive, but I would ask around to find out if anyone you know (like crazy old Aunt May) has one and then just borrow it. I am excited to do this because if you can stuff, unlike jarring (yes it's real, look it up if your don't believe me) you don't have to freeze the contents and the product will last for 2 to 3 years. This is a great idea for us college kids because the one thing we can never stop complaining about is how the food here doesn't taste like home. (Oh dear old Sodexo...) Seems like this will be both nostalgic and useful - a winning combo if you ask me.
