Things you don't want to hear when you're at a boarding gate:

Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a slight delay boarding flight 1234 while we wait for incoming passengers to deplane. The captain has informed us that there is a ....... thing.......with the plane and will advise us as to when we can begin boarding. 

Thankfully not my flight. But really, a thing? Thats a new one for me. 😳

One leg down, one to go. 

Have a good day everyone!

Thing.. thing is a good word for things we cannot mention. Are you coming home already?

My husband makes ketchup occasionally. The last one was made with tomatillos instead of tomatoes (because we had them to use up), peaches for a bit of sweetness, apple cider vinegar, and some other witchcraft I don't know about.

It didn't last long. We destroyed six pints of it and mourned the two we gave away to friends. LOL

Oh, that sounds nice. My mom used to make pickled peaches, they were so nice. I've never tried making things like that. Canning things (note the word THING here) freaks me out. i think i'm going to poison someone. I have made jam, but not for a long time. I used to help Mom make jam and marmalade, and she made the peaches and dill pickles etc.   

But homemade ketchup sounds very nice .. @Kitt and @Wayne Gray

You just have to be careful when you do the canning. My grandma used to do it all the time, until one of the jars exploded on her. She was taking it out of the water to let it cool on a cooling rack, and it blew up going everywhere. Luckily she wasn't hurt from the glass breaking.

That's all that we can do. Only control the things within our control. But it's easier said than done. That's a lesson I'm still trying to learn.

It's those pesky temperature gradients. Glass doesn't like going from boiling to cold. My husband makes sure to heat the jar clampy thing that grabs them so they don't blow up on us. We've not had one pop during that transfer, but we've had them crack while cooling. That's always a bummer.
