I don't really like to cook either. I can and I do, but not every day. What I dislike most is cleaning up the pot/pan/dish mess!!! So you see, if you just don't cook, there is no mess to clean up!!!

That is so true and at Thanksgiving, since I make 98% of the meal, the others usually clean up...I guess that really makes a difference...lol

It does sound weird eating relish on pinto beans or beans of any sort, but then I know at times I eat weird stuff too. Long as it's good and we love it....no worries!

I've never had chow-chow. And I've never heard of people eating it on beans and cornbread. What else do people eat with chow-chow?

We don't eat figs either. We just don't have them around here so we've never aquired a taste for them.

I vaguely remember my grandmother opening a jar and using it in soup maybe. I think that's what it was.

Regular salt or canning salt in chow chow??? I'm asking because my mother always taught me to never use regular salt in canning because the food won't keep as well, but it does make a difference on how much you use.

Thanks or the recipes!!!

We enjoy cooking and baking. This is why we're always dieting.

I think that when you can you need to use salt without the iodine. That's the difference between regular salt and canning salt, that and the texture. However you can buy regular salt without the iodine in it as well.
