Thank you christybird. I agree that acidic foods must leach out the bisphenol A into it and I think that the canning process involves a high heat as well which makes me nervous. I think that I will start growing a much bigger garden and putting a lot more food up myself.

  How do I move all my stuff, my car, & my cat 3000 miles in the most inexpensive way?

  Hey – if you’ve got a lot of books and magazines, ship them via U.S. Mail using “book rate” or “media mail.” This rate is amazingly cheap! I just moved from Kentucky to Boston and shipped all of my books and magazines (8 boxes’ worth, very heavy) for under $150. You can also ship DVDs, CDs, and other “media” this way. Just be sure not to mix in non-media stuff when you pack your boxes, they get very grumpy about that.

  What associations does hearing a Southern (American) accent trigger in you?

  I moved to Kentucky last year (I’m from Minnesota originally) and at first I really found everyone’s accents really distracting. Even if you know intellectually that “Southern accent” does not equal “provincial and uneducated,” Southern accents ARE used as a shorthand for those things in movies and on tv so much that it’s hard not to have that association. (I think Cockney English accents are often used in a similar way.) Now I don’t even notice anyone’s accents anymore, it’s interesting how your ear gets accustomed to hearing certain things.

  Yummiest way to use/prepare pine nuts?

  Pine nuts (one of my FAVORITE ingredients, they are so freaking delicious) are also good in sweet things…you can make pine nut cookies, for example.

  @gailcalled: Hi there! I’ve missed you (and fluther) too. I’ve been busy writing my thesis – aah! But it is just about done now, thank goodness. So more time for things like this.
