I have some old half gallon jars of my grandmother that I put cereal into to keep fresh once the box is open.
My mother said this size was used for home made vinegar and for lard.

What a great idea to put dry goods in canning jars! I spent 15 minutes doing it this morning and it saved a bunch of shelf space. We have tons of jars from when we canned years ago. Thanks for the tip.

I feel real dumb. What’s in all the glass jars? Wheat? Looks like the jars my grandmother and mother used to make fig preserves. Of course, my favorite was the strawberry preserves made using figs and strawberry jello. Did you have that in Lake Charles?

You are too funny, you have CJ, I have Jane and sometimes I use you!!! I love my meat slicer, not as fancy as yours but it works. Not only do I know how old the meat is, I know how it was prepared for cooking and what’s in it! I need to get using my smoker–again, not as fancy as yours. I’m not getting a grain mill! Not yet anyhow.

Believe or not – we have a seperate one of those just for slicing bread, plus the 1 for meat. You just might need 2 of them if you like to make those big round European style loafs of bread! The meat one is great for sandwiches – DH especially likes sliced roast pork sandwiches!

Cheers!
