Nope, not talking about bass fishing...I've had a much more 'domestic epiphany.
Sometimes, the best way I can help my wife is to stay out of her way, and that has been true for most of the packing that she has accomplished, other than a few times she has waved at something and said 'you can take care of putting that into a box.
Last night, I was graced with getting to round up all the empty, used mason jars we've been stashing around the apartment. I'm sure veteran canners have a system for storing empty jars once they've been used, but we really haven't gotten there yet. A few of the jars that I found looked like they needed cleaning before I packed them away, and that is where I made the large mouth/small mouth discovery.
The wide mouth jars are about 13 times easier to clean effectively than the 'regular' mouth jars. They were so much easier, I almost 'accidently' knocked the half-dozen regular jars I found onto the floor, so I would just have an excuse to get rid of them.
And no, it hasn't escaped my attention that a wide mouth makes it easier to get the last of some canned goody OUT of the jar either.
But kind Sir, Your wife who does the canning has found that she prefers regular mounthed canning jars.
