"Neon Tiger, There's a Lot on Your Mind..."

Yesterday we canned tomato juices and all the corn in the world. To-day twenty pints of vegetable soup (corn, carrots, lima beans, potatoes, three or four types of tomatoes, onions, celery, almost all homegrown) with the new pressure canner. I am sleepy and bored and mhari's internets are broken, so here is something that did entertain me to-day:

Okay, that last one is just genius.

It's actually a surprisingly common practise around here.
