Found a house to buy but...

[alice]

I have a similar problem. It feels silly to buy a huge house just for two of us. But then you never know how big the family will be and you want to be sure everyone will get enough space. Though if we only have 1 child, there is no need for all that space. Never thought it would be such a difficult decision.

I have never canned, but I have gone through the process of blanching to remove skin, de-seeding, and dicing tomatoes and then putting them in freezer bags in batches.

I am collecting tomatoes to freeze. I’m not even going to blanch them or remove skin. I just wash them, cut them up and put them in a freezer bag. Tomatoes are the one thing that I preserve because I want to make sure we have them when needed Throughout the year.

If you fall in love with it, you can make it work. (Note: it doesn't work that way with humans.)

As it turned out, that particular house sold immediately. And such has been the case with every house since.
