Thoughts for RiverRat/Karen

last year

For those who don't know, Karen's beloved Charles has passed away. I reached out to her and she asked that I post something here for the "old timers" that might remember her.


Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she faces life without him.

    Old timer here, so sorry to hear of Karen loss. BTW ANNIE, your salsa recipe is being told that it was not tested, how can we email so I can stop this? I oh so miss the old Gardenweb.

    busylizzy, you should be able to send a message via Houzz/gardenweb, but if you cannot, my email is annie1992 at yahoo dot com.


    As for the salsa, well, people just have to say something to prove they "know" something, I guess. Perhaps the confusion arises because the first batches were pressure canned, then the recipe was finally tested, then the "salsa rules" changed and my extension service suggested I increase the acidity "just to be safe". I did that, but that means there are a couple of recipes floating around out there. The first one, which was tested for safety, and the second one, which had more acidity "just in case".


    I care less and less as I get older, LOL. People can make it or not, as they wish. I've retired, the person who finally managed to get it tested has retired and her replacement who suggested additional acidity has retired. I grow tired of "defending" myself to whole new groups and generations. If they do not wish to use the recipe, fine with me.


    Meanwhile, people have much more serious issues than my salsa, and so Karen remains in my thoughts and prayers.

    Just seeing this because i dont drop in here so often. Karen and i stayed in touch via Facebook but then my account was hacked and i had to start over. Lost my connection with Karen. I loved seeing updates about her family. I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Charles.
