Horrible forum all day. Couldn't get on before now.

I'm dusting, vacuuming, changing sheets, then looking forward to a big phat coffee, then shower and fresh clothes, then guests this evening. I'm making this pizza I posted in May on page 61 of the cooking thread:

Crust parm'd herb'd.jpg

So good, no marinara, just sun dried tomato pesto as the base, and this time I have some mozzarella so I won't have to compromise with the American cheese singles. Got some fresh basil earlier this week.

Dunno if I'll be playing much, but I'll try to be back.

I hope Jimi is okay after helping his friend yesterday.

Jimi, you wrote yesterday:

"It's your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you."

I almost made this a pm rather than run my mouth in this public thread, but I'd be interested in having Goph's input too, since he cans his produce.

It makes me sick that you lost two quarts of the good organic tomatoes you worked so hard to grow, and two of your canning jars you spent good money on. When I search online, I read it happens to people all the time in pressure cooker canning.

Lots of government recommendations are scammy, designed to make us fail, and sometimes there are lobbying efforts behind them. Those things go into "updated" books, and we're on the road to despair.

Yes, our produce has lost nutrients due to degraded soil, but I assume you're composting your kitchen waste into the soil.

The USDA recommendations for home canning is now an empty "401" page.

This is from FDA (what business is it of theirs?):


But at the bottom line, all of the naturally occurring acids in tomatoes can be replaced as additives, if you really feel it's necessary. Here is a good article about it:

Tomato Guide: Nutrition, Benefits, Side Effects, and More

Discover the health benefits of tomatoes, a versatile fruit packed with nutrients like lycopene and vitamin C. Learn about their potential to reduce cancer risk, improve heart health, and aid in weight loss.

You can buy food grade citric, ascorbic and malic acid. Probably just a little goes a long way.

Then you can go back to the failsafe methods that have stood you and our ancestors in good stead for decades, if not hundreds of years.

Luv ya

Awe thank you, Yes and I do add lemon juice to all my maters to add acid. When it comes to food I try to be as safe as I can that's why I pressure cook maters, I have a hot water bath canner but only use it for pickles, beets, and fruit mainly but have done some maters in it
