I did find that, here anyway, if we go during the week, it's not as bad. I have another post coming soon on some other jars we use, maybe you can order those on Amazon, ha. Jars are a wonderful storage thing, they are kind of pricey up front, but the flip side is they last forever (unless you drop one, ha).1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-22293439652476538702013-01-06T10:46:39.472-06:002013-01-06T10:46:39.472-06:00You know, I have three HUGE jars with gaskets that...You know, I have three HUGE jars with gaskets that a friend of mine gave me and I do need some new gaskets.
