Pay found the best way to get rid of old stuff (it's not new...she is just new to doing this.)
And someone got a grown-up BBQ and is conquering her flame fears after having a BBQ explode in her face once. Hear the pathetic story.
Joel MacCharles and Dana Harrison are the couple behind WellPreserved.ca - a great blog of recipes for preserving. Their new book, Batch, includes tips, techniques and recipes for preserving. Joel shares the 7 types of preserving (and chances are you're doing more than one without knowing it) and a few simple 10-minute recipes you could be doing at home without any extra equipment.
Some of them involve booze.
Plus - their kitchen experiments gone wrong...
