Retail Therapy Etsy Style
I'm in the mood to shop. There, I said it, but I'm also in a rather cheap state, so currently my retail therapy is consisting of finding things I might like to own but may not fork over the dollars for right this minute. But soon, I hope.
My attention is on leggings right now; they seem like a relatively low-cost way to get something new and surprising into my wardrobe. Note - I would NEVER EVER EVER wear leggings as pants. It is a look that I abhor. I could go on, but suffice it to say, many women do not know the meaning of "opaque," much to their detriment.
I'd really like to put together a post of all the cool things I've found on Etsy. This is a start.

Soup's On
It's soup season, and I spent Monday fortifying my stock supply.
I used my pressure canner (what I call the time machine since it looks a little like it came from the '60s TV show Lost in Space) to make it shelf stable. For you pressure canner users, I used 10lbs of pressure for 20 minutes. Works like a charm. I'm over freezing stock in glass jars. Lately, even when filled with an inch or so of headroom, I get cracks. A little frozen flat in ziploc bags isn't bad, but I have more shelf space than freezer space.
Respect the pressure canner, and it will be your best friend.
