This year, in 2010, I am focusing on shopping locally and buying goods that are in season . To go along with this theme I face the challenge of living in the Pacific Northwest and being somewhat limited by our growing season.
During months when crops are limited I will refer to the United States's seasonable produce list . For example, in January the citrus crop is being harvested. Oranges, grapefruit and lemons are available and affordable. Since there is a shift in weather and the Florida orchards are being affected there could be in higher citrus costs for the rest of the year. Also California is being challenged by insuffiicient water resources and therefore some farmers are cutting down orchards. We will feel it not only in citrus but in the price of nuts. A wise person would learn to can. When produce is available and affordable put some up and prepare for leaner times.
I will now be offering monthly canning classes based on seasonable produce. I will share a wealth of canning, food preservation and frugal tips with humor and love. Don't miss this opportunity!

What a great opportunity for people in your neck of the woods! Texas is a little too far away for me to be able to attend but I sure would if I could. Have you thought of advertising to local ladies' church groups? The ladies groups at the churches I've been involved with would love a class like that!
ps I have never gotten that email from you. Don't know if you tried to send it and it bounced back or if you lost the address. But if you still want to email me, my address is rjrpainthorses@wildblue.net
