I did it! On Saturday I canned/bottled CHICKEN! How is that for a vegetarian (my nephews like to call me the "weirditarian"). I know what you are thinking (this looks disgusting), but the enrichment leaders (Jenny & Tiffany) ensured us that when you take it out of the can it falls apart like shredded chicken and that it tastes great in enchiladas, soups, bar-b-q sauce and casseroles. I am going to have the family test one of the bottles out soon to see how it tastes. Dusty laughed when I told him this because he knows that means he'll be the one to test it out (me being a vegetarian and all!) I was a bit nervous to do this, I had to use a pressure canner which was a kind of intimidating. I did 3 batches (7 pint bottles in each batch, each having to cook at a certain pressure for an hour and a half) and it pretty much took the entire day; but it is all cooked and great for our family food storage. Nothing says "I love you" more than adding canned chicken to our food storage from a vegetarian -right! I love my family :)
I did however, have time to squeeze in an HOUR LONG appointment that Dusty had set up for me to get a SWEDISH BODY MESSAGE he did this last year too. It was a great surprise and very relaxing. Thanks babe.

That is definately a sign of true love. It would be the equivalent of me handling, preparing and smelling FISH. Good job. Let us know how it tastes.
I'm seriously impressed. I'm not sure I could even do that, and I'm not a vegetarian.
Sorry dude, that looks disgusting.... Please let me know how it tastes Dusty.. hee hee
I'm so impressed!! I really need to do some canning:) I didn't know you were a wierditarian LOL!
...oh... oh ... and now I'm a vegetarian.
Now that I know your story of why you are a vegetarian I have been thinking about that and think I want to become one too! yikes! :)
Impressive. I didn't even know you could can meat by yourself.
Way to go Jandee! I remember when I canned chicken for the first time -- scary stuff. Now you're a pro.
