It´s hard to determine the lovemeter, but I guess it´s obvious where my love flows over, because obession makes it that way xD Viktor can´t go without love, because that would be cruel^^ Ekko is my little baby boy, he deserves good things, too :3 Sevika has grown onto me over time, so she gets my love (also slowly falling for her soft gray eyes)^^ Mel is gorgeous and intelligent and I´m sorry I doubted you, my queen :< Vander is good dad, so naturally love also counting his relationship with Silco in xD Yes, still gay for Vi xD No, not gay for Jinx, but I feel for her and I wanna protect and hold her and just.. sigh.. you know make it better for her, somehow.. And to clarify: I like both Jayce and Caitlyn, I´m just not that invested into them as the others^^ I mean, I like Jayce, he´s a good boy, he has a good broship with Viktor, he´s not after fame, he´s still a simple science guy and I cannot say I dislike him or the choices he made. He´s just.. not that interesting for me like Silco is xD Caitlyn is good, too, but yea, same as Jayce^^

almost forgot: pls fill the jars with your own love

What Is Pressure Canning?

Food preservation is as common as rainy days in the UK! Whether it is with a freezer, by creating jams, or otherwise there are many ways to make preservable food that can be enjoyed by the whole family at their convenience. One of the newest trends heading over to the UK from the USA is pressure canning. “But what is pressure canning?” I hear you ask. Simply put pressure canning is a process where food is stored securely in sealed jars which are then heated to a high enough temperature to remove all bacteria. The food can then be cooled and stored away for longer periods of time with a shelf life of upto 1 year being possible depending on the item in question. In this article, we will be taking a look at what pressure canning is, what foods are suitable, and more.

What is pressure canning?

Pressure canning involves a pressure canner, jars of various sizes depending on the item being stored, a water bath, and time for the jars to be sealed. It is similar to the process of water bath canning but is suitable for less acidic foods such as meats. Essentially the same process occurs but the water is heated to a temperature and pressure where all germs and other bacteria are killed. This means that the food can be stored for a much longer period of time. There are a number of different pressure canners, jars, and devices that you can use to get the job done. Read our article here to go further in depth on how to get setup for pressure canning.
