Hill’s Kitchen (next to Eastern Market metro) used to have canning classes in DC, but their cook moved to Tailand so they don’t have anyone to teach this summer. It would be great if you could have classes there.

Thanks again, Marisa. Can’t wait to make some strawberry jam with the recipe you gave me for the Tribune’s readers. Cheers!

Marisa and Ernest- Thanks for the info. I don’t think I’ll try the cans. I think I was hoping there was a way to “cryo-vac”it or something. My bro lives overseas, so both fragility and weight are factors. Maybe some day…thanks again.

Going to one of your classes seems like a good idea! It would totally be worth the $40 plus train fare (I refuse to drive the 45 minutes to philly).

Gayle, I’d love to come down to DC sometime. If you can think of a spot for a class, let me know and we’ll try to get something set up.

What do we need to do to get you to DC? My fiance says my refrigerator pickles “aren’t quite there yet” and I suspect his real issue is that they are refrigerator pickles and not properly pickled pickles…

Ernest, thanks so much for giving Christine the run-down on canning in metal cans. I vaguely knew such things were possible, but I’ve never done it and had no details.

Vivian, gosh, thank you so much! I’m delighted to hear you like the recipes I contributed to the BlogAid cookbook. That Carrot Peanut Butter Soup is really quite lovely.

Marisa, I am holding “BlogAid: Recipes for Haiti” in my hand just now and I must say I love your contributions. Carrot Peanut Butter Soup…golden in a plain little Corel cup! Perfection. We so often forget that food need not be fancy, just good sustenance, made with imagination and taste in mind. Your Yogurt Millet Bread looks intriguing in the way it has risen in the pan. Thank you so much for being part of this project…everyone involved, I think, sent their very best recipes. I’ve been made aware of so many wonderful new foodblogs!! Your dedication is appreciated.
