When I mentioned my find to my mother-in-law (another canner) she just gave me a look like "are you really that stupid" Hell, I don't mind, we all have to learn sometime. One of my old favorites from the Peanuts strip was Lucy + Linus + whatever Linus said, Lucy replied, that that was just an old wives tale. To which Linus replied, "Some of those old wives were pretty smart, you know."
