AudioCanning

A Glass of Blessings: A Novel | Barbara Pym

#Audiocanning
I got a LOT of chicken cheap at the commissary this week, so I made my fist foray into pressure canning. Now I have chicken soup for when I feel under the weather this winter.
The title of the book I was listening to is oddly appropriate 😄

Megabooks Awesome! 1y

merelybookish Impressive!! 1y

Aimeesue @Megabooks @merelybookish The coolest part is that when you take the jars out of the pressure canner, they‘re still BOILING inside. Fun to watch. 1y

Tamra You‘ll appreciate the effort this winter! 1y

Blueberry @Aimeesue my coolest part is listening to the lids ping. 😆 1y

Aimeesue @Tamra I definitely will! I hate to cook when I‘m sick, but I also hate grocery-store canned soup! 1y

Aimeesue @Blueberry That is super awesome as well! PING! Yessssss! 😂 1y

The Shadow of the Wind | Carlos Ruiz Zafon

#AudioCanning? Is that a thing?
At any rate, I got halfway through TSotW while putting up two boxes of apples. Chunky applesauce, cinnamon applesauce, apple slices in cinnamon-vanilla syrup, and apple rosemary jam.
Rereading this one for a book group, and I liked it a lot more this time around - the audio version, narrated by Jonathan Davis, is fabulous.

jlhammar Yum! And so pretty. 1y

Aimeesue @jlhammar I feel kind of bad about having to store it all downstairs (in “The Larder” as my ridiculous family calls it) until it‘s needed. 😋 1y

emz711 Oooo this is one of my favorite series and I never thought to do the audio for it. Is it good?! 1y

Aimeesue @emz711 The audio is great! Davis does a spectacular job with all the voices. The only drawback for some people may be the weird music that plays at the beginning of some - but not all- chapters. Doesn‘t bother me, but YMMV. 1y

SamAnne I‘m an audio canner! 1y

kspenmoll It looks so good I know it‘s so much work, so I am glad you can listen to a book. Why not? 1y

My listen for #audiocanning.

While the narrator was excellent, I did find myself confused between present day and the past on more than one occasion. Better delineation between the two times would have been helpful. Other than that, this was a look at a complicated time for a couple of complicated families.

Book 2/4 for #SuperSeptember

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty | Patrick Radden Keefe

Making spicy ginger peach chutney is a meditative activity as I listen to this excellent book on the Sackler family & the opioid crisis. Even for a cynic, the family‘s refusal to take any responsibility for hurting millions of people combined w/ their ruthless business practices & determination to continue making profits from the destruction of people is stunning. I‘m more than 6 hours in for #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65 #audiocanning

Andrew65 Going well 👏👏👏 3y

Leftcoastzen Well written and infuriating! Beautiful photo! 3y

kspenmoll This was my favorite book of the year. Loved hearing the author narrate. 3y

CarolynM Those peaches look delicious😋 3y

The Gourmands' Way: Six Americans in Paris and the Birth of a New Gastronomy | Justin Spring

A little #audiocanning this weekend - ketchup is done and salsa is in progress. And this audio is making me hungry.

Nute You made homemade ketchup? That‘s cool! 4y

janeycanuck @Nute Yes! We love it and it‘s surprisingly easy to make. 4y

slategreyskies Homemade ketchup!? Wow! I‘ll bet it tastes amazing! :) 4y

janeycanuck @slategreyskies Yup, being doing it for a few years now. Tastes like delicious, delicious tomatoes! We‘d have a hard time going back to Heinz. 4y

An #audiocanning day. For such a short book, a lot happens! This one deserves all the buzz it got, it‘s so good. I‘d love to read a good long juicy novel from Braithwaite.

Melissa_J I really enjoyed this one, too! 5y

Lcsmcat Your canning is making my mouth water! Is that Chow Chow on the left? 5y

janeycanuck @Lcsmcat Zucchini relish. I‘ve never heard of chow chow, what is it? 5y

Lcsmcat @janeycanuck It‘s a type of Southern vegetable relish. It looks a lot like yours. Here‘s a recipe and picture. https://www.tasteofsouthern.com/chow-chow-relish/ 5y

janeycanuck @Lcsmcat ooh, looks tasty! 5y
