It’s a Q & A session where I answer a “Q” from a reader of the blog.

In this episode you learn:

• Why canning is NOT just about saving food for later
• The “aha” moment that changed my perspective on preserving food forever
• What we can do to bump up flavor
• How knowledge is power – especially with food
• How all food has a story & why we should care
• Several compelling reasons we should want to preserve
• How to handle the doubters who don’t “get” what we do

Note: If I ever have funny blooper outtakes, I promise to add them to the end of the show – so you can laugh at me. Ha!  I have a good one at the end of this episode.  Just listen to the very end – right after the music outro.

Tee hee hee…
